Prince Andrew's ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein are under intense scrutiny, with Democrats calling for him to testify before Congress. The pressure comes as new emails have emerged showing that the royal attempted a "catch-up" meeting with Epstein just months after the financier was released from prison.
The House Oversight Committee is urging Andrew to voluntarily appear before Congress, with several members stating that his testimony would be crucial in helping victims of Epstein's abuse reach justice. Rep. Suhas Subramanyam said if Andrew wants to do right by the victims, he should come forward, while Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi urged him to testify and share what he knows.
New emails, released in unsealed court documents, show that Andrew and Epstein remained in touch after his release from prison. In April 2010, Andrew wrote that it would be "good to catch up in person," and proposed a meeting with American banker Jes Staley in London, but declined the invitation when he found out he'd be out of the country.
The latest revelations come as King Charles stripped Prince Andrew of his title, and effectively evicted him from the 30-room mansion where he lived for over 20 years. Pressure has mounted following the publication of late Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre's memoir, which details her allegations that Andrew had sex with her on multiple occasions.
Andrew reached a settlement with Giuffre in February 2022, after she filed a civil case against him accusing him of sexually assaulting her when she was just 17. He has repeatedly denied having met her and previously denied the authenticity of a photograph showing the two together.
As Prince William prepares to embark on his first Latin American trip, hoping to refocus attention away from his uncle Andrew, Democrats are continuing to push for accountability. With no formal subpoena issued and Republicans remaining silent, it remains to be seen whether Andrew will ultimately face questioning in Congress.

i cant believe prince andrew is still getting a free pass despite all the evidence pointing to him being involved with a convicted pedophile like jeffrey epstein...i mean come on, new emails show that he's still trying to keep in touch with epstein just months after he got out of prison? what does he have to hide? 
. These new emails showing him trying to catch up with Epstein after he was released from prison is just crazy 
. I get that Democrats are pushing for him to testify, and I think it's only fair that he shares what he knows 
. But at the same time, I feel bad for the victims of Epstein's abuse - they deserve justice too 
.
. I guess that's politics for you - everyone's got their own agenda 
. Anyway, I think it's time for some truth-telling and accountability, whether it comes from Prince Andrew or not 
.
i mean prince andrew getting stripped of his title and being kicked out of his mansion is not enough imo he needs to come forward and tell the truth about what really went down with epstein 
those new emails are sketchy, like what was he really trying to hide? and oh girl, virginia giuffre's memoir is giving me all the feels 
but congress needs to take it to the next level 
i'm rooting for rep subramanyam and rep krishnamoorthi to get to the bottom of this 
It seems like the royal family's reputation is taking a hit 
. If Prince Andrew is really innocent, then why all these emails and meetings with Epstein? 
Time to come clean and tell the truth 
. The world is watching, and justice must be served 
.
. i mean, come on, you get out of prison and you still try to catch up with convicted pedophiles? that's not how it works, dude 
.
. if prince andrew wants to do the right thing, he should come forward 
. but let's be real, he's gonna deny everything till the cows come home 
. and those new emails? nice touch 
. that dude was a total embarrassment to the royal family 
. and now prince william's trying to shift attention away from uncle andy? lol, good luck with that, wills 
.
The fact that new emails have come out showing they still stayed in touch after his release from prison is just... ugh. I feel so bad for the victims who are still trying to find justice.
. If Prince Andrew is called to testify, it could be a huge opportunity for him to come clean and make amends with the victims. Let's hope that happens soon
