Starmer Urges Ex‑Prince Andrew to Testify After DOJ Epstein Files

On Jan. 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice released more than 3 million pages, 2,000 videos and 180,000 images tied to Jeffrey Epstein, and records show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears several hundred times including photos that appear to show him kneeling over an unidentified woman.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Jan. 31, 2026, that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should cooperate with U.S. investigators and testify before Congress, saying "Anybody who has got information should be prepared to share that information," Starmer said as he arrived in Japan.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and did not respond to an email seeking comment, while a Buckingham Palace spokesman told reporters to consult the palace's Oct. 2025 statement stripping him of royal titles, officials said.

The DOJ materials name tech executives, Wall Street figures and foreign officials and show New York Giants co-owner Jonathan Tisch mentioned more than 400 times, records show.

Members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee have asked Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to sit for a transcribed interview, a request that legal analysts said could increase pressure on U.K. police and prosecutors, lawmakers and analysts said.
