American lawmakers and victims’ families demand the former royal face the House Oversight Committee regarding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Pressure is mounting across the Atlantic for King Charles III to intervene in the ongoing scandal surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Senior US politicians, including Democrat Representatives Ro Khanna and Teresa Leger Fernandez, have explicitly called on the British monarch to direct his brother to travel to the United States and cooperate with federal investigations.
Congressman Khanna, a driving force behind the recent release of the Epstein files, criticized the Royal Family for a historical lack of transparency. He argued that stripping titles is insufficient and that the monarchy should “come clean” about their knowledge of the relationship between the prince and the convicted sex offender.
The King should direct his brother to answer questions here at the Oversight Committee. You cannot say ‘I am protected because I’m no longer in the jurisdiction of the United States.’
A Constitutional Crisis?
Representative Fernandez emphasized that accountability should not stop at the border, suggesting that Andrew possesses critical information about other potential perpetrators. This sentiment was echoed by Sky Roberts, brother of accuser Virginia Giuffre, who told reporters that Andrew “should show up in front of our Congress.”
The latest trove of Department of Justice documents reveals repeated, unsuccessful attempts by US authorities to interview the former prince. While he cannot be legally subpoenaed while in the UK, the political and diplomatic pressure is intensifying.
