Congress requests interview as 2011 email exchange raises new concerns
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has received an official request from members of the US Congress to cooperate in an ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal network, marking a serious new chapter in the controversy surrounding his past connections with the disgraced financier.
According to a letter obtained by Hello! Magazine, sixteen members of Congress, including California representative Robert Garcia, have asked Andrew to sit for a transcribed interview regarding his “long-standing friendship” with Epstein. Garcia serves as a leading Democrat on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which is currently examining Epstein’s sex trafficking operations.
The letter, sent to Andrew’s former home at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, was delivered just days after he lost his remaining royal titles and was ordered to leave the property.
“The committee is seeking to uncover the identities of Mr Epstein’s co-conspirators and enablers, and to understand the full extent of his criminal operations,” lawmakers wrote. They argued that Andrew’s association with Epstein suggests he “may possess knowledge of his activities relevant to our investigation.”
Congressional members also cited a 2011 email in which Andrew allegedly told Epstein, “We are in this together.” The committee described the message as “further confirmation” that he could have important information about Epstein’s network.
The letter also referenced long-standing allegations made by Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of sexual misconduct when she was 17—claims he has always denied.
Lawmakers concluded by urging him to comply: “In the interest of justice for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, we request that you cooperate with the Committee’s investigation by sitting for a transcribed interview.”
Andrew has not yet responded publicly to the letter or the congressional request.
