Why Andrew's Epstein Shame Will Never End: Author | The Daily Beast Podcast

Lownie, an author and British historian, lays out why Prince Andrew’s downfall is no longer a contained scandal but a widening corruption crisis—one that now stretches from sex-trafficking allegations to financial misconduct, secret meetings with Bahrain, and the Queen and Prince Philip’s decades-long blind spot for their “favorite” son. As King Charles battles cancer and Prince William quietly takes the reins, Joanna presses Lownie on whether Andrew will flee Britain, what Sarah Ferguson might reveal, and whether this is the most perilous moment for the monarchy since the abdication.

Andrew Asked to Appear before US Congress for Questioning on Jeffrey Epstein Links | BBC News

Nov 7, 2025 | Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been asked by Democrats in US Congress to answer questions as part of its investigation into paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Members of the House Oversight Committee wrote to Andrew in a letter addressed to Royal Lodge, the Windsor mansion from which he was ordered to move when he was stripped of his title as a prince on 30 October.

The committee does not have the power to compel Andrew to appear in front of them, but said it intends to ask questions related to Epstein's network and associates based on the pair's "longstanding" friendship.

Andrew was stripped of his titles following months of pressure over his ties to Epstein, but he has always denied wrongdoing.


I am no defender of the former Prince Andrew. His behaviour has been despicable. But this comes over as very hypocritical to me. These Congressmen/women are so quick to call for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to testify under oath, but let their own president completely off the hook. The witch-hunt should begin at home and then move on. Trump, if he is honest under oath, will surely be able to shed much light on the seedy goings on in these sex orgies. Then, by all means bring Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor into the ‘inquisition’! But start with the most powerful man in the world. He must surely know far more than he is letting on. — © Mark Alexander

His association with now-dead billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was clearly beyond the pale.

Meanwhile, it is understood that Andrew will not have to leave Royal Lodge immediately and could move to Sandringham as late as the new year.
