Overview
- Andrew failed to respond by the November 20 deadline to a House Oversight request for a transcribed interview on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, drawing a sharp rebuke from Democrats Robert Garcia and Suhas Subramanyam, though Congress cannot compel his testimony abroad.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer said anyone with relevant information should provide it, a stance welcomed by a committee member and victims’ attorneys urging Andrew to cooperate under oath.
- Despite being served notice to vacate, Andrew remains at Royal Lodge and was twice seen horse riding on the Windsor estate, with reports that he is set to relocate to private accommodation at Sandringham in the new year.
- The Metropolitan Police say they are considering whether further assessment is necessary and, per reports, have sought emails, phone records and notebooks from former personal protection officers linked to the matter.
- A YouGov poll found 75% of Britons believe he should give evidence to Congress, as social and reputational fallout widens with reports of a club ban for Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and charities and a publisher distancing themselves from Ferguson.
