The Prince and Princess of Wales previously said they were 'deeply concerned' about allegations against Andrew Windsor.

William and his wife shared their distress over the most recent revelations about Windsor in the latest DOJ documents dump, which police confirmed put him under an investigation.

Thames Valley Police confirmed on February 9, that it was "assessing the information in line with our established procedure," while Windsor was accused of misconduct in public office and of breaching the Official Secrets Act.

At the time, the couple's Kensington Palace spokesman released a statement reading, "I can confirm the Prince and Princess of Wales have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations."

The rep added, "Their thoughts remain focused on the victims."

Virginia Giuffre claimed Andrew Winsor knew she was underage when he allegedly sexually abused her.

William was reportedly one of the driving forces behind the king finally stripping Windsor of his royal titles and privileges in October 2025 after more salacious accusations were made against him by late Epstein s-- trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre in her posthumous memoir.

While Windsor's arrest was for his shady business dealings with Epstein instead of allegedly having s-- with minors, Giuffre's family hailed the news that the former prince was finally in custody.

"On behalf of our sister, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we extend our gratitude to the UK's Thames Valley Police for their investigation and arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor," Sky Roberts and Danny Wilson wrote.

The siblings sneered, "He was never a prince. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you."
