Overview
- Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee urged Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to give evidence on Jeffrey Epstein, with Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi saying he would move to subpoena him and Rep. Suhas Subramanyam suggesting a remote, lawyer‑accompanied appearance.
- Buckingham Palace said the censures were necessary and conveyed sympathies for victims, noting Andrew continues to deny the allegations linked to Epstein and Virginia Giuffre.
- Andrew’s name has been removed from the peerage roll, and the King is expected to send a royal warrant and letters patent to the Lord Chancellor to formalize removal of his prince, HRH and Duke of York entitlements.
- Formal notice has been served to surrender the Royal Lodge lease, and Andrew is set to move to private accommodation on the Sandringham estate, with multiple outlets reporting a one‑off relocation payment and an annual privately funded stipend.
- U.K. scrutiny continues as the Public Accounts Committee seeks details on the ‘peppercorn’ Royal Lodge lease and the Met reiterates its 2016 decision not to open a full criminal probe, while polling shows strong public support for the King’s actions.
