Members of the House Oversight Committee have written to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the former British prince, requesting that he answer questions on Jeffrey Epstein.
A total of 16 Democrats in the U.S. Congress signed the letter released on Thursday as the Committee continues its investigation into the disgraced pedophile’s sex trafficking operation.

He had willingly given up his Duke of York title as the Royal Family faced further intense scrutiny following the publication of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir.
In its letter to Andrew, the committee said it was seeking to uncover the identities of Epstein’s co-conspirators and enablers to understand the full extent of his criminal operations.
“Well-documented allegations against you, along with your long-standing friendship with Mr. Epstein, indicate that you may possess knowledge of his activities relevant to our investigation,” the letter read.
“In the interest of justice for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, we request that you cooperate with the Committee’s investigation by sitting for a transcribed interview with the Committee.”
The letter, addressed to the Royal Lodge—which Andrew has been ordered to vacate—noted that the pair “remained close” during and after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring minors for prostitution.

It detailed trips Andrew and Epstein took together, including to Epstein’s private island in the Virgin Islands and the Queen’s residence at Balmoral.
“This close relationship with Mr. Epstein, coupled with the recently revealed 2011 email exchange in which you wrote to him ‘we are in this together,’ further confirms our suspicion that you may have valuable information about the crimes committed by Mr. Epstein and his co-conspirators,” the letter continued.
Giuffre’s posthumous memoir alleged she had sex with Andrew on three occasions as a teenager after being trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Andrew has always denied the allegations and strongly denies any wrongdoing.
Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, sued Andrew in August 2021, and while he maintained his innocence, he settled outside of court for a sum believed to be around $15 million.

In October, the Metropolitan Police said it was looking into reports that Andrew had attempted to start a smear campaign against Guiffre in 2011.
The Mail on Sundayreported that Andrew told his personal protection officer to dig up dirt on Guiffre and provided him with her date of birth and confidential social security number.
According to the outlet, Andrew sent an email urging his bodyguard to look into Guiffre just hours before a now infamous picture of them together was published.
It was an incident that the committee noted in its letter, describing how victims were scared of retaliation for speaking out.
“Given these recent events and the appalling allegations that have come to light from Ms. Giuffre’s memoir and other reliable sources, the Committee requests that you make yourself available for a transcribed interview with the Committee and provide insight into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators,” the letter concluded.
“Due to the urgency and gravity of this matter, we ask that you provide a response to the Committee’s interest by November 20, 2025.”
