Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is facing growing pressure from US officials and the family of his prominent accuser Virginia Giuffre to testify in the US about his links to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaking to the BBC, Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna said the Royal Family had not been transparent, while Democrat Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez stated King Charles III should direct his brother to go to the US to answer questions.
Earlier on Tuesday, the King expressed that the Royal Family were ready to support police in their inquiries.
Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing and reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability.
The King's intervention comes as a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace indicated readiness to assist police if approached, with the King expressing profound concern regarding allegations against his brother.
A complaint filed by anti-monarchy group Republic about Andrew allegedly sharing confidential material with Epstein is being assessed by Thames Valley Police.
The former prince appears to have shared confidential information with Epstein from his official work as trade envoy in 2010 and 2011, as evidenced by the latest release of files.
Although Andrew cannot be compelled to testify through a subpoena, frustrations among US authorities grow as they seek his testimony regarding Epstein inquiries. Recently, documents related to Epstein have spurred further scrutiny on Andrew.
Congressman Khanna advocates for transparency from the Royal Family about their knowledge and proposed actions related to the victims of abuse, suggesting they should consider compensating survivors.
As the pressure mounts for Andrew to testify, he has temporarily relocated from his Windsor home while undergoing renovations at his new residence on the Sandringham Estate.
The urgency for Andrew's accountability highlights ongoing debates about royal privilege and the imperative for justice in abuse allegations.
