Pressure is mounting on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — formerly Prince Andrew — to cooperate with a U.S. congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggested he should provide evidence if he has relevant information.
Speaking to reporters en route to the G20 summit in Johannesburg, Starmer avoided commenting directly on the king’s younger brother but stressed a long-held principle.
“I don’t comment on his particular case,” Starmer said. “But as a general principle, anybody with relevant information in cases like this should give that evidence to those who need it.”
Members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee have asked Andrew for a “transcribed interview” regarding his past friendship with Epstein. The former prince, who lost his royal titles and military honors last month amid renewed scrutiny, has not responded to the request.
Starmer’s remarks followed criticism from Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the committee’s ranking Democrat, and Rep. Suhas Subramanyam of Virginia, who accused Andrew of avoiding accountability.
They said the former royal “continues to hide” from serious questions related to Epstein, adding that their investigation will continue “with or without him.”
“We will hold anyone involved in these crimes accountable, no matter their wealth, status or political party,” they said, promising justice for survivors.
