US EditionUS Lawmakers Intensify Calls for Former British Prince Andrew to Address Epstein Ties
Democrats seek testimony from Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to clarify his Epstein connections and support justice for survivors, amid his recent loss of the prince title.
- On Thursday, King Charles stripped Andrew Mountbatten Windsor of his prince and Duke of York titles, while House Oversight Committee members intensified calls for him to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein.
- In recent weeks, pressure increased on the monarchy to resolve the issue of Charles's brother, and earlier in October Andrew agreed to stop using some royal titles ahead of Virginia Giuffre's memoir.
- With at least four Democrat members, Raja Krishnamoorthi said: `However, if Andrew wishes to come to the United States or he's here, then he's subject to the jurisdiction of the US Congress, and I would expect him to testify.`
- Members said Andrew Mountbatten Windsor could appear remotely and privately, and Democrats urged him to testify voluntarily; new court documents published on Friday showed he wrote, `I have no immediate plans to drop by New York but I think I should at some stage soon`.
