UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that former Prince Andrew should testify before the US Congress due to his connections with billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in prison while awaiting trial for charges of establishing a sex trafficking and prostitution ring involving underage girls. He said, "The victims of Epstein should be the top priority."
After his visit to Japan, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke to the press while returning to his country about the publication of photos of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, whose "Prince" title was revoked in the UK, in new files shared in the Epstein investigation.
"HE NEEDS TO TESTIFY IN THE US CONGRESS"
Starmer explained that former Prince Andrew should testify in the US Congress, stating, "I have always said this about giving testimony: everyone who has knowledge should be ready to share that information in whatever form they are asked."
"THE VICTIMS OF EPSTEIN SHOULD BE THE TOP PRIORITY"
Emphasizing that this approach is a requirement of being victim-focused, Starmer said, "If you are not ready to do this, you cannot be victim-focused. The victims of Epstein should be the top priority." In response to a question about whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should apologize, he stated that this is "Andrew's issue."
In newly released documents regarding Jeffrey Epstein, photos of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, whose "Prince" title was revoked in the UK, were published. In one of the former prince's photos, he was seen touching the stomach of a fully clothed woman lying on the ground, while in another photo, the same woman was on the ground, and he was looking directly at the camera in a "four-legged" position.
HE HAD REVOKED HIS BROTHER'S TITLES
Mountbatten-Windsor, who was accused of sexual abuse by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, denied all allegations against him but announced in 2019 that he was stepping back from all official royal duties. Stating that the allegations mentioned in Giuffre's upcoming book, to be published in October 2025, were concerning the Royal Family and King Charles, Mountbatten-Windsor announced that he would relinquish all royal titles, ranks, and honors except for "Prince."
However, King Charles went a step further and revoked the "Prince" title as well, announcing that his brother would continue his life as "Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor." It was also noted that the Royal Lodge residence in Windsor, where Mountbatten-Windsor lived, could be taken from him.
THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN CASE
Epstein, who was charged with sexually abusing dozens of underage girls, including those as young as 14, and establishing a prostitution ring, was found dead in his cell at the New York Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019.
The released Epstein case files included famous names such as Prince Andrew, US President Donald Trump, former US President Bill Clinton, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former US Vice President Al Gore, actor Kevin Spacey, singer Michael Jackson, illusionist David Copperfield, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
The FBI also stated that as a result of its investigation with the US Department of Justice, no evidence was found that a "client list" of famous individuals was maintained, and it was concluded that Epstein, who was alleged to have been murdered to cover up the crimes of individuals, including government officials, celebrities, and businessmen, actually committed suicide in his cell.
