Queen Camilla<\/a> was faced with questions about the royal family’s reaction to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and his victims after the former Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, appeared in files recently released by the U.S. Department of Justice.\n<\/p>\n The Queen, 77, arrived at London’s Christ Church Primary School for a planned engagement to help mark the National Year of Reading on Feb. 4, when a reporter asked the royal questions as she exited her car.\n<\/p>\n In a video shared by ITV News on social media, a reporter is heard saying, “Good morning, Your Majesty, good morning. Will the royal family help the Epstein investigation? Do you have a message for Epstein’s victims, Your Majesty?”\n<\/p>\n Queen Camilla ignored the questions, heading straight into the school and shaking hands with a greeter just inside.\n<\/p>\n Just one day prior to the Queen’s questioning, Prince Edward<\/a> made brief remarks about the matter<\/a> at the World Governments Summit in Dubai on Feb. 3, becoming the first member of the royal family to address it since the latest files were released. He told CNN\u2019s Eleni Giokos: “Well, with the best will in the world. I\u2019m not sure this is the audience that is probably the least bit interested in that. They all came here to listen to education, solving the future.”\n<\/p>\n “But no, I think it\u2019s all really important always to remember the victims, and who are the victims in all this, a lot of victims in all this,” Prince Edward said.\n<\/p>\n Kate Middleton<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Prince William<\/a>\u00a0faced a heckler during their Jan. 20 visit to Scotland<\/a>.

I really don’t have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness.”\u00a0In another exchange from\u00a0Aug. 3, 2009<\/a>, she thanked Epstein for helping her with brand deals and “being the brother I have always wished for.”\n<\/p>\n Other emails from the new batch of Epstein-related\u00a0evidence include\u00a0disturbing comments<\/a>\u00a0about Andrew and Ferguson’s two daughters,\u00a0Princess Beatrice<\/a>, now 37,\u00a0and\u00a0Princess Eugenie<\/a>, now 35.
