U.S. House Democrats Press Andrew Mountbatten Windsor for Recorded Testimony in Epstein Inquiry

The request underscores renewed accountability pressure after the king’s edict stripping his titles.

Overview

  • Sixteen Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee asked Andrew to sit for a recorded interview by November 20, citing his long association with Jeffrey Epstein and referencing financial records, and the request carries limited enforcement power because Republicans control the panel and foreign nationals cannot be compelled to appear.
  • A proclamation entered in The Gazette and sealed on November 3 formally bars him from using the style Royal Highness and the title Prince, marking the king’s decision as an official act.
  • The UK government is working to remove his honorary Royal Navy rank of vice admiral, while Buckingham Palace confirmed he may retain his Falklands campaign medal earned for wartime service.
  • The Royal Household has erased his profile from the official website, he has been served notice to vacate the Royal Lodge in Windsor, and reports describe a relocation to a smaller Sandringham property with a potential one‑off payment and stipend from the king’s private funds not yet confirmed.
  • Fresh allegations in a forthcoming book claim a 2000 Sandringham event linked to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, which the palace declined to comment on, and the claims remain unproven.
