Prince Andrew could be called to appear in front of Congress due to his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, the Democratic ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, was asked on BBC’s Newsnight if the committee would be interested in speaking to Prince Andrew, who recently gave up his royal titles because of his purported Epstein association.
“We would be extremely interested in hearing from Prince Andrew regarding his involvement in all this, yes,” Lynch said.
Files related to Epstein have been the subject of a political firestorm due to the disgraced financier’s connections to high-profile individuals like Andrew, President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton.
Lynch told the program that the oversight committee has already spoken to several Epstein survivors and is continuing to look into the case.
“I think for those on our committee, both Democrat and Republican, who have seen the pain and anguish that has been experienced by these women, it will only increase our interest in speaking to everyone who was involved here,” Lynch said.
Prince Andrew, the third child of Queen Elizabeth II, was named in a 2015 lawsuit against Epstein filed by noted survivor Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2025, alleging that she was sex trafficked to the prince when she was 17.
Giuffre later sued Prince Andrew in 2021. He has denied any wrongdoing on multiple occasions.
Epstein controversially died by suicide in a New York City jail in 2019. He was facing federal sex trafficking charges.
Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s co-conspirator who also has ties to Prince Andrew, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for child sex trafficking.
