“What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.
“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.”
The monarch went on to make his position unmistakably clear.
“Let me state clearly: the law must take its course,” he said.
“As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.”
Shifting focus to humanitarian work
While the royal family deals with the repercussions in London, Prince Harry has been concentrating on humanitarian issues abroad alongside his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
Speaking to Channel 4 News, he emphasized the urgency of the crisis in Gaza.
“It goes at an incredible pace and what’s been happening in that region has been going on for a long time and it drops out of the news,” he said.
“So, I think it was a really important time for us to collaborate and come here and shine a light and focus on the very real humanitarian catastrophe that has happened and continues.”
