Anti-monarchy group Republic have hit out at European monarchies that have come under criticism following the release of the Epstein files.
Several Royal Families have been forced to issue statements after the US Department of Justice published more than three million documents, including those from Norway, Belgium and the UK.
Graham Smith, the leader of the Republic movement in the UK, has warned European monarchies that "regular folks will not tolerate anymore", given the allegations that have come to light.
He told GB News: "The Republic is a member of the alliance of the European Republican movement. So we have close contact with people in places like Norway, the Netherlands, and so on. So they all have scandals.

"If we can get all the evidence, it will empower the public, and the regular folks will not tolerate it anymore."
King Charles and Queen Camilla have expressed concerns about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's links to Jeffrey Epstein.
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: "The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor's conduct.

"While the specific claims in question are for Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if we are approached by Thames Valley Police we stand ready to support them as you would expect.
"As was previously stated, Their Majesties' thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse."
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has always strenuously denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit issued an apology following revelations about her friendship with Epstein.

"I showed poor judgment, and I deeply regret having had any contact with Epstein. It is simply embarrassing," the Crown Princess said in a statement.
Belgium's Prince Laurent appears to be mentioned in the files and has denied ever attending a public or group event with Epstein.
He said: "I would like to put an end to the rumours surrounding the Epstein case once and for all."

Public backing for the British monarchy has dropped since the release of the documents.
Fresh polling data from Savanta revealed that 45 per cent still back the Royal Family, down three per cent from four months ago.
While support for replacing the monarchy with an elected head of state held steady at 32 per cent, the proportion of respondents expressing uncertainty grew from 20 to 24 per cent since October.
Charles has since been heckled twice following the release of the documents, including on one occasion at Clitheroe in Lancashire.
"How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?" the heckler demanded of the King.
Those gathered to see the monarch responded with boos and shouts of "shut up" directed at the man, with some calling for him to be removed.
Being mentioned in the files does not imply any wrongdoing or any form of misconduct.
