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, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna said the Royal Family had not been transparent, while Democratic Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez stated King Charles III should direct his brother to answer questions in the US.
On Monday, the King expressed the Royal Family's readiness to support police investigations.
Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing, having settled with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability.
In a significant statement, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson indicated the King is prepared to support inquiries should they arise.
This comes as the Thames Valley Police assess a complaint regarding Andrew's alleged sharing of confidential information with Epstein from his role as a trade envoy.
Recent revelations include claims that a second woman was sent to meet Andrew by Epstein, alongside photographs from newly released documents prompting further scrutiny of Andrew's past.
Lawmakers, including Khanna, have indicated a need for the Royal Family to clarify their knowledge and the actions they plan to take regarding the allegations, advocating for potentially compensating victims.
Andrew's recent relocation to Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate during renovations showcases his current vulnerability within the monarchy.
Calls continue for the former prince to testify in the US, as frustrations mount over his status that limits legal obligations to respond to subpoenas. The urgency for his appearance has intensified following new document releases detailing his connections to Epstein.
