We've been asked and will decline about the statement released by Andrew a short time ago: 
ROYAL COMMUNICATIONS 
Statement by His Royal Highness The Duke of York KG 
It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstances relating to my former 
association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family's work and the 
valuable work going on in the many organisations and charities that I am proud to support. 
Therefore, I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable 
future, and she has given her permission. 
I continue to unequivocally regret my ill-judged association with Jeffrey Epstein. His suicide has 
left many unanswered questions, particularly for his victims, and I deeply sympathise with 
everyone who has been affected and wants some form of closure. I can only hope that, in time, 
they will be able to rebuild their lives. Of course, I am willing to help any appropriate law 
enforcement agency with their investigations, if required.
