The Core Question for Royal Watchers
This week's poll centres on a deeply contentious issue emerging from the latest release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. These files have further tarnished the reputation of the disgraced former Duke of York, Prince Andrew. Against this backdrop, we pose a direct question to our readers: Is King Charles III right to be providing ongoing financial support to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor?
Context of the Scandal
The newly publicised Epstein correspondence has thrown Prince Andrew's standing into even greater disarray, raising fresh questions about his associations and conduct. This development places the monarchy under intense scrutiny, compelling the public and commentators alike to evaluate the Crown's handling of the situation.
