Event Summary

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has publicly urged Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before the United States regarding his knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. This call comes after the United States — United States Department of Justice released new documents on January 31, 2026, which include embarrassing photos and emails showing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's continued association with Jeffrey Epstein even after his 2008 conviction. The files also detail correspondence suggesting Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor invited Jeffrey Epstein to Buckingham Palace and discussed meeting young women. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal titles by Charles III, has consistently denied wrongdoing but settled a multi-million-pound lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre in 2022. United States members, including Suhas Subramanyam, have repeatedly requested his testimony. The documents also reveal past associations of other prominent British figures like Peter Mandelson and Richard Branson with Jeffrey Epstein, leading to public statements from them regarding their past conduct.
