Democrats summon former Prince Andrew for royal Epstein grilling
Share and Follow

House Democrats have called upon Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to account for his connections to the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.

According to the Washington Post, Representative Robert Garcia of California, who serves as the leading Democrat on the Oversight Committee, issued the request as part of the ongoing investigation into Epstein’s activities.

The committee seeks to hold a transcribed interview with Andrew to explore his interactions with Epstein.

Andrew’s name has surfaced in numerous documents linked to Epstein, including flight records from the notorious “Lolita Express.” Despite these associations, Andrew firmly rejects any allegations of misconduct and asserts that he severed ties with Epstein as soon as his criminal activities were revealed.

Earlier this month, his brother, King Charles, officially removed his “prince” title.

‘The committee is seeking to uncover the identities of Mr Epstein’s co-conspirators and enablers and to understand the full extent of his criminal operations,’ Garcia wrote in a letter to Andrew, sent Thursday. 

‘Rich and powerful men have evaded justice for far too long. Now, former prince Andrew has the opportunity to come clean and provide justice for the survivors. Oversight Democrats will not stop fighting for accountability and transparency for survivors of Epstein and his gang of co-conspirators.’

Garcia’s letter was signed by the remaining 13 other Democratic lawmakers on the committee. The letters demands Andrew responds no later than November 20.

In a bombshell statement last week, Buckingham Palace coldly announced the ‘censures [were] deemed necessary’ amid the growing controversy surrounding his relationship with pedophile financier Epstein, with whom Andrew lied about cutting ties. 

Moreover, on Thursday the King formally revoked the former duke of York’s title of prince. 

The monarch has also removed his HRH by issuing a rare Letters Patent, making his younger brother officially a commoner.

The Crown office published the details of the King’s Letters Patent in The Gazette, the UK’s official public record.  

The entry read: ‘THE KING has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor shall no longer be entitled to hold and enjoy the style, title or attribute of “Royal Highness” and the titular dignity of “Prince.”‘

Virginia Giuffre, who committed suicide in April, accused Andrew in a recently published posthumous memoir of sexually abusing her on three separate occasions. 

Giuffre alleges that she was focused to have sex with the then-duke of York in London, on Epstein’s private island and at the pedophile billionaire’s Manhattan mansion. Andrew has strenuously denied these allegations.

The Mail on Sunday revealed how Andrew told Epstein in an email ‘we are in this together’ a day after the infamous picture of the former prince with Giuffre was published.

In the wake of the royal fallout, Giuffre’s family said she was ‘an ordinary American girl from an ordinary American family’, who had ‘brought down a British prince with her truth and extraordinary courage.’

In 2022, Andrew settled a US civil case she lodged for a reported £12million, reportedly receiving money from his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to help meet the costs. The settlement came with no admission of liability.

The shunned ex-duke has been erased from the royal website entirely, with no mention of him on ‘The Royal Family’ page or when the term ‘Andrew’ is entered into the search bar.

The king’s younger brother will now be banished to a private property on the monarch’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, but no further details have been shared. It is understood Prince William and the Royal Family fully support the King’s decision.
