Event Summary

Activists from the anti-monarchy group Republic staged a protest inside United Kingdom — Buckingham Palace on Monday, unfurling a banner with an image of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein and the words 'What did you know?' The protest highlights ongoing controversy over Andrew's relationship with convicted sex offender Epstein. Andrew was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office and is under investigation by United Kingdom — Thames Valley Police, who plan to travel to the US to interview Virginia Giuffre's family. Green MP Dean Berry is calling for reform of freedom of information rules to end royal secrecy. Andrew was stripped of his titles by King Charles III in October and has faced separate accusations of sexual misconduct, which he denies. He paid Giuffre millions to settle a civil suit in 2022. The protest aims to pressure the royal family and government for transparency.
