King Charles attended a Sunday morning service at St Mary Magdalene Church on the royal estate in Norfolk, displaying a positive demeanor as he engaged with attendees, including Simon and Georgina Ward and their sons William and Oliver.
Despite the significant blow to the family caused by Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein, King Charles appeared unfazed during this public outing.
While Prince Andrew participated in the royal family's Christmas at Sandringham, recent reports suggest he is currently staying at his Royal Lodge home in Windsor, dealing with the emotional impact of the allegations.
According to sources, Prince Andrew is struggling emotionally, with reports from The Mirror stating that he has "locked himself away in a room" and is unsure how to respond, feeling devastated by the situation.
The recently released files are linked to a 2015 defamation case brought by Virginia Giuffre against Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, accusing Andrew of misconduct on three occasions when she was 17.
Another source revealed Prince William's perspective, expressing that Andrew's s*x scandal will continue to haunt the royal family despite any settlements, as investigations and revelations unfold from Epstein's victims.
"In William’s view, [Andrew] should have no role with the family at all," the source explained.
