American lawmakers are intensifying demands for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to provide testimony in the United States regarding his connections to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna said that travelling to America to face questions would be "appropriate" for the former prince.


Congressman Khanna was scathing in his assessment of the Royal Family's handling of the affair, accusing them of having "not been transparent" about the matter.

He urged the royals to "come clean" about their knowledge and outline what steps they intend to take.

"They have a large wealth, they should probably be compensating these survivors for the horrors that have taken place," Khanna added.

The Congressman, who helped sponsor legislation compelling the release of the Epstein files, declared that "these women have been denied justice".

His colleague, Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez, went further, stating that King Charles III "should direct his brother" to cross the Atlantic and respond to inquiries.

The pressure comes from both US officials and the family of Virginia Giuffre, Andrew's most prominent accuser.

Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing and settled with Giuffre out of court in 2022 with no admission of liability.

In a public intervention amid the latest release of Epstein files, the King expressed his position through Buckingham Palace.

Appearing in the Epstein files is not evidence of any wrongdoing, and inclusion in the documents does not implicate anyone in Epstein's criminality.

The former Duke and Duchess of York have always denied any wrongdoing.

A spokesperson confirmed the Royal Family stood "ready to support" police should they be approached regarding any investigation.

The statement also conveyed that the King had "made clear...his profound concern" over the allegations facing his younger brother.

The Palace added that the King and Queen's "thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse".

Thames Valley Police announced on Monday that it was assessing a complaint lodged by the anti-monarchy campaign group Republic.

The complaint centres on allegations that Andrew shared confidential material with Epstein.

According to documents from the latest release of Epstein files, the former prince appears to have knowingly passed on sensitive information from his role as Britain's trade envoy.

This alleged sharing of official material reportedly occurred during 2010 and 2011, when Andrew was still carrying out duties on behalf of the nation.

The police assessment represents another troubling development in the ongoing scandal surrounding the Duke.

Meanwhile, Andrew has relocated from his Windsor residence and is presently staying at Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate whilst awaiting renovations to his new permanent accommodation.
