01:09Pranio Padhi will join us shortly to take us through the details
01:15of what has now been said by King Charles. Remember this is a big statement that has come in

01:30treated like any other. The law must take its course and it should not be different for anyone.

01:55The former prince, I beg your pardon.
01:59Alright.
02:03Pranio Padhi will join us shortly to take us through the details but the former prince who has been accused
02:08of misconduct in public office. You would remember that picture and what has come in through those
02:16redacted files of Prince Andrew's association with Epstein and now King Charles saying that the law must
02:25take its course. Let me take this to Pranio who's now live with us on the broadcast. Pranio, big messaging
02:31coming in from King Charles to how this case must move forward. Also reiterating for one and all that the
02:39law
02:39is the same and there should be no preferential treatment.
02:43Absolutely, Suresha. This is very much on the expected lines because we have seen the kind of statement
02:47coming from the Kensington Palace, Prince William and Princess Kate. Besides that now King Charles
02:53have also come out with a statement clearly distancing from the conduct of Prince Andrew and clearly that
03:00the royalty of UK was under pressure after the way the details about the Epstein file and the involvement
03:08of Prince Andrew came to surface and after that the royalty wanted to distance from these allegations
03:14and their involvement. But clearly this is a big fall for Prince Andrew. The way the kind of correspondence
03:20has come in to surface and the Thames Valley Police Station has registered a case. Prince Andrew and his
03:26premises are under investigation and this is not only about the misconduct and you know at a public
03:34office but this is also about the involvement of you know the human trafficking aspect of it and in fact
03:40these are the very serious allegation which has come to to surface after the Department of Justice of the
03:44United States have released these documents and you know further tranche of documents are still expected
03:50because you know this is around 300 GB data which was you know confiscated and you know
03:58confiscated by the by the US by the US police authorities while they were investigating investigating
04:04Jeffrey Epstein and in fact if you see the very you know many big names came to surface and appeared
04:12in
04:12these Jeffrey Epstein files and Jeffrey Epstein documents but but so far this is the biggest name or the biggest
04:18fall which is coming from from the United Kingdom and this may put pressure on various other names as
04:25well those who have whose name appeared in these Jeffrey Epstein files but clearly the statement coming
04:31from the UK Prime Minister clearly indicating that no one is above the law and also a statement coming
04:36from Prince Charles clearly saying that you know that no one is above law and law will take its own
04:42due course
04:43so clearly the royalty distance trying to distance themselves from here and about the personal
04:48conduct of Prince Andrew and besides that the UK police has already started their investigation in the case
