Former Prince Andrew Stripped of Titles Amid US Epstein Testimony Calls

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor faces growing pressure to testify before a U.S. Congressional committee about his association with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Following revelations and allegations, the King stripped Andrew of his princely and Duke of York titles and ordered him to leave his Windsor residence, relocating to the Sandringham estate. Prominent U.S. lawmakers, including Representatives Raja Krishnamoorthi and Suhas Subramanyam, have called for Andrew to come forward voluntarily or face a subpoena to disclose what he knows about Epstein's crimes. The Metropolitan Police are also investigating claims that Andrew attempted to use his security detail to gather damaging information on Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein accuser who alleged she was trafficked and forced to have sex with Andrew as a teenager. Advocates for Epstein's victims and legal representatives emphasize that Andrew's testimony is crucial for justice and to prevent future abuse. Despite Andrew's denials of wrongdoing, the demands for transparency and accountability from both sides of the Atlantic continue to intensify.
