In the letter, which was sent to the former prince today, the US politicians said the House Oversight Committee had identified “financial records containing notations such as ‘massage for Andrew’ that raise serious questions”. “We write to seek your co-operation in the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s (Committee) investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operations,” the letter reads. “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. Well-documented allegations against you, along with your long-standing friendship with Mr Epstein, indicate that you may possess knowledge of his activities relevant to our investigation.

The formal request comes as Britain’s King Charles officially stripped his disgraced brother of both his prince title and style of His Royal Highness today. Buckingham Palace made the announcement last week amid the continued scrutiny over Andrew’s relationship with Epstein, who died by suicide in a New York prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.
