British Parliament deliberates on calling Andrés to testify about the Epstein case

This Sunday in the British parliament , the Liberal Democratic Party would be requesting that Andrew, brother of King Charles III, testify before that body about his relations with the deceased convicted American paedophile J Effrey Epstein and his financial situation, according to British media reports.

A spokesman for this political group told the media that Andrés Mountbatten Windsor, who is now an ordinary citizen after being removed from the monarchy, “should appear before Parliament under oath, to finally offer the transparency and scrutiny that was lacking over his ties to Epstein and his victims.”

The Liberal Democrats also believe that the chamber should also “be able to question the Government about its involvement and the possible cost to taxpayers” of Andrés's planned transfer from his Royal Lodge mansion, in Windsor Castle, where he had lived without paying rent since 2004, although he financed some reforms, to another residence not yet disclosed.

“There are still too many unanswered questions surrounding this scandal, and the public deserves to get answers,” the source said. “This includes the amount of compensation Andrés will receive for leaving the Royal Lodge, which involves terminating a contract signed in 2003, and what kind of advice the Government offered,” he added.

Although it is customary for the British Parliament, consisting of the House of Commons (lower) and the House of Lords (upper, not elected) not to criticize the monarchy, the fact that Andrés was stripped of his inauguration opens the door for deputies to call him to testify, which will depend on whether a commission decides to do so.

Last Thursday, the U.S. Congress asked Andrés to appear to be interviewed in that country about his ties to Epstein, who committed suicide in prison in 2019 before a trial for sex trafficking. Although the letter allows until November 20 for Andrés to respond, congressmen cannot force him to testify.
