Camilla Was Asked About Epstein For the 1st Time After Reports Fergie Plans to ‘Take Her Down’ for ‘Throwing Her Under the Bus’ Over Their Emails
The Epstein scandal has now gotten so big that everyone has had to go on the record about it, including people like Queen Camilla, who aren’t directly involved. Not so long ago, Prince Edward was the first royal to speak on the record about it. But what does Camilla think about Epstein and the scandal surrounding the former prince Andrew? Did she go on the record about it?
Camilla made an appearance at London’s Christ Church Primary School to mark the National Year of Reading on Feb. 4, and was asked directly about Epstein before she even made it into the room.

In a video shared by ITV News on social media, a reporter is heard asking, “Good morning, Your Majesty, good morning. Will the royal family help the Epstein investigation? Do you have a message for Epstein’s victims, Your Majesty?”
Camilla did not answer the questions; instead just walked inside.
Prince Edward, however, responded to direct questions about Epstein not that long ago. While speaking at the World Governments Summit in Dubai on Tuesday, Feb. 3 the Duke of Edinburgh, Andrew’s younger brother, said that “it’s really important to remember the victims.”
When asked how he was coping with the controversy, according to The Independent, he replied, “Well, with the best will in the world. I’m not sure this is the audience that is probably the least bit interested in that. They all came here to listen to education, solving the future.”
“But no, I think it’s all really important always to remember the victims, and who are the victims in all this, a lot of victims in all this.”
His response makes Camilla’s avoidance all the more poignant. More information about Andrew’s ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has come up in the last batch of the Epstein files, and it doesn’t look good for him or the rest of the royal family. In the latest files released, there is an alleged correspondence between Epstein and Andrew that includes Andrew sharing photos of his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, when they were younger.
That’s not all. Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, is also featured in the new release.
And email sees Epstein asking about a trip to New York, with Sarah allegedly replying, “Not sure yet. Just waiting for Eugenie to come back from a shagging weekend!!” At the time Eugenie was already dating her now husband, Jack Brooksbank.
Recent reports about Fergie indicate she wasn’t happy that she and Andrew had been abandoned by the royal family in the wake of the scandal. According to the National Examiner, “Camilla was like a sister to Sarah,” and now has abandoned her. “But she’s been pushed into a corner and that is making Sarah very dangerous,” the source warned.
“She’s a ticking time bomb — and the angrier she gets, the more likely she is to go through with threats to take everyone down with her. Sarah has enough stories to make everyone in the royal family very embarrassed, especially Charles and Camilla.”
TalkTV host Mark Dolan said on SkyNews, “She feels that she’s been thrown under the bus, that it was Andrew’s ill-advised relationship with the disgraced ex-financier, and therefore, she’s got the record to set straight. She needs the cash, and it’s very possible that she will sign a million-dollar deal to spill the beans… The big problem is for Charles because this whole scandal threatens to taint his entire reign as monarch.”
