Piers Morgan has issued a two-word verdict after police confirmed active inquiries into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's stays at Balmoral Castle with convicted sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Daily Express previously reported Police Scotland confirmed inquiries are at an "early stage", but are understood to relate to claims that women were "trafficked" to King Charles' private estate in Scotland.
Police Scotland statement
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We have received information and active inquiries are ongoing, but these are at a very early stage.
"All inquiries are evidence-led, with the needs of victim survivors at the heart of those inquiries.
"We would never confirm details of ongoing inquiries and it would be inappropriate to comment further."
Morgan's social media reaction
Pictures previously released by the US Department of Justice appeared to show Andrew and Epstein on a shooting trip on the estate.
Morgan retweeted a breaking Sky News report on the investigation with the caption: "Also damning," with finger-pointing emojis referring to the clip.
Sky's caption read: "BREAKING: Police are investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's stays with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at Balmoral in 1999."
Previously Morgan had retweeted a Daily Mail report after the publication reported Meghan Markle's dad Thomas Markle to the FBI, after "finding photos of children in his Mexico storage unit". He added the caption: "Damning…" again with finger-pointing emojis.
Broader commentary
The former Good Morning Britain star also took aim at reports that people with ADHD could be entitled to discounted train tickets. Eligibility for a disabled person's railcard has been expanded to include people with neurodivergence or a long-term impairment.
Morgan wrote: "History will look back on this period in society and conclude we all lost our f****** minds."
According to the official website, those eligible under neurodivergence must have been diagnosed with a long-term condition likely to last at least 12 months, which causes significant barriers when using rail services. To support an application, the passenger must provide a report or letter from a health professional explaining their access needs.
