The Prime Minister said that while any decision was up to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, his "general position is if you have relevant information you should be prepared to share it".
But it is highly unusual for a PM to discuss potential legal matters relating to the royals.
Mountbatten-Windsor is under pressure to share what he knew about Epstein with a US Congressional committee which is investigating the scale of Epstein's offending, and who else was involved.

"But as a general principle I’ve held for a very long time is that anybody who has got relevant information in relation to these kind of cases should give that evidence to those that need it.
"That would be my general position on this."
