Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is facing growing pressure from US officials and the family of his prominent accuser Virginia Giuffre to testify in the US about his links to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaking to the BBC, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna said the Royal Family had not been transparent, while Democratic Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez stated King Charles III should direct his brother to answer questions in the US.
On Monday, the King expressed that the Royal Family were ready to support police in their inquiries regarding Epstein.
Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing and previously reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability.
In his first public statement on the latest Epstein scandal, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace mentioned their willingness to assist if approached by law enforcement.
The King has shown profound concern over his brother's situation and expressed sympathy for the victims of abuse.
Thames Valley Police announced they are assessing a complaint from an anti-monarchy group regarding allegations that Andrew shared confidential material with Epstein.
Documents from the latest release indicate that Andrew may have shared confidential trade information with Epstein while acting as a trade envoy.
No comments have yet been provided by Andrew in response to the pressures and allegations outlined.
When asked about Andrew's potential visit to testify in the US, Congressman Khanna deemed it appropriate and emphasized the need for transparency from the Royal Family.
Democratic leaders, including Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, joined the calls asserting that Andrew should face Congress and clarify his knowledge of Epstein's operations.
As recent revelations circulate, including that Andrew may have illicitly interacted with a woman sent by Epstein, scrutiny continues to increase. Andrew’s continuous denials of misconduct remain in the spotlight.
