Keir Starmer refrained from making any direct remarks regarding King Charles III’s embattled younger sibling. However, while attending the Group of 20 summit in Johannesburg, he stressed the importance of individuals coming forward with evidence in legal investigations as a “general principle.”

“I will not comment on his specific situation,” Starmer stated on Saturday (Sunday AEDT).

“However, it has been my longstanding belief that anyone possessing relevant information in such cases should present it to the authorities who require it,” he added.

Last month, Andrew faced the loss of his royal titles and honors as the royal family sought to distance itself from criticism stemming from his connections with Epstein.

Starmer’s remarks followed comments by Representative Robert Garcia from California and Representative Suhas Subramanyam from Virginia, both Democrats, who claimed Andrew continues to evade answering critical questions.

“Our work will move forward with or without him, and we will hold anyone who was involved in these crimes accountable, no matter their wealth, status or political party,” they said in a statement released on Friday.

“We will get justice for the survivors.”
