Campaigners have demanded a 'full, unrelenting investigation' into royal links to Jeffrey Epstein.

Republic is tonight demanding answers about what the royals knew about Andrew's relationship with Epstein.

The group has said it 'beggars belief' that Charles and William were not made aware of the full extent of Andrew's friendship with Epstein.

Republic is calling for the police and MPs to investigate a possible royal cover up.

Speaking for Republic, Graham Smith said today:

"If the Sun can get this email then so can the palace. Charles and William have been conniving to protect Andrew for over a decade now. It has to stop."

"It beggars belief to think that William and Charles weren't aware of this email and the full extent of the scandal."

"Clearly Andrew has been lying about his relationship with Epstein. This latest email revelation suggests an admission to at least some of the accusations made by Guiffre."

"Andrew has been reported to the police in the UK and pursued in US courts. Why haven't William and Charles come clean about what they know?"

"This isn't just about family. It's not a private matter. We need to know if the royals are putting family before country."

"The public deserve a full, unrelenting investigation into this shameful saga."

"It's now time for the police and MPs to throw open the files and fully investigate not just Andrew's actions, but the obvious royal cover up."
