Pressure on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor increased after King Charles removed his prince title on Thursday, as several Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee urged him to testify in the Jeffrey Epstein inquiry. The Republican-led panel has not signaled support, but lawmakers said he should appear voluntarily and could face a subpoena if he enters the United States. They said the aim is to secure a full account for survivors. Andrew has denied wrongdoing.
Accusers Liz Stein and Anouska De Georgiou called for his cooperation, and UK trade minister Chris Bryant said he should travel to the United States to answer questions if invited. Britain’s police watchdog asked the Metropolitan Police whether further review is needed after reports that Andrew sought personal information on Virginia Giuffre through his protection team in 2011; the force has said it is examining the reports. Newly released US court records show a 2010 email in which Andrew sought an in-person meeting with Epstein and a December 2010 encounter in New York’s Central Park. The palace cited sympathy for survivors and said sanctions were necessary despite his denials. He has been asked to leave Royal Lodge for a property on the king’s Norfolk estate.
