Former Prince Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has been requested by US officials to provide testimony regarding his association with Jeffrey Epstein. Congressional investigators, in a letter penned by Representative Robert Garcia of the House Oversight Committee, seek Andrew’s cooperation in identifying Epstein’s collaborators and supporters. The letter sets a deadline of November 20, 2025, for Andrew to respond and participate in a transcribed interview.
The committee’s inquiry into Epstein’s sex trafficking operations aims to unveil the network of individuals involved in his criminal activities. Notably, Andrew’s close ties with Epstein, dating back to 1999 and extending beyond Epstein’s 2008 conviction, have raised suspicions about Andrew’s potential knowledge of Epstein’s wrongdoings. Allegations of sexual encounters between Andrew and Virginia Giuffre during her teenage years, which Andrew vehemently denies, further prompt the committee’s interest in his testimony.
Reports of Andrew’s travels with Epstein to various locations, including Epstein’s properties and private island, where alleged abuses took place, as well as incriminating email exchanges, strengthen the committee’s belief that Andrew may possess critical information about Epstein’s illicit operations. Flight records, financial transactions, and documented interactions between Andrew and Epstein also contribute to the committee’s rationale for seeking Andrew’s cooperation.
The committee’s request for Andrew’s participation in an interview stems from a commitment to justice for Epstein’s victims and a broader investigation into potential efforts to suppress victims’ voices. Recent developments, including a UK investigation into Andrew’s alleged attempts to discredit Giuffre, underscore the urgency of the committee’s inquiry. The committee emphasizes the need for Andrew to shed light on Epstein’s collaborators and assures him of the committee’s authority to delve into such matters.
To address the pressing nature of the investigation, Andrew is urged to respond to the committee’s request by the specified deadline. The House Oversight Committee, responsible for oversight of House of Representatives’ affairs, reiterates its interest in Andrew’s cooperation and willingness to provide insights into Epstein’s associates. For any inquiries, Andrew is encouraged to contact the Committee Democratic staff directly.
In light of the gravity of the situation and the serious nature of the allegations, the committee anticipates Andrew’s prompt attention to their request and looks forward to his cooperation in the investigation.
