YouTube Description
as posted by the channelKing Charles's biographer and friend Jonathan Dimbleby tells BBC Newsnight's Katie Razzall that he "would strongly believe" that the monarch "would very much like" his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to testify in the US in relation to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Interview broadcast on Friday 13th February 2026.
When asked whether the King would be feeling "pressure" over the allegations, Dimbleby said: "I think that he will be feeling the pain of this" and be "appalled by the allegations".
Dimbleby added that Charles would be "sensing the need to give duty of care" to Mountbatten-Windsor, describing Andrew as "a broken, finished man at best".
Last week, Buckingham Palace said it was ready to support the police as they consider allegations against Mountbatten-Windsor.
Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing.
