After being heckled again about his brother Andrew's friendship with the convicted sex offender, King Charles has now released a statement saying that the king has made clear, quote, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concerns over allegations that continue to come to light about his brother.

The statement says that if approached by British police as part of their investigation into the disgraced former prince, Buckingham Palace stands ready to support them.

It adds that the King and Queen's thoughts and sympathies have been and remain with victims of all forms of abuse.
