House Democrats on the Oversight Committee have requested Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, brother of King Charles III, to participate in a transcribed interview as part of their probe into the late Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal network. A letter from Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the committee’s ranking member, asked Windsor to “understand the full extent of Mr. Epstein’s criminal operations.” Thirteen other Democrats co-signed the appeal, urging Windsor to respond by Nov. 20. The request lacks legal authority and does not constitute a summons. Garcia, unable to issue subpoenas, faces limits in compelling testimony from foreign nationals.
Windsor, stripped of royal titles and now a private citizen, has denied involvement with Epstein. Republicans on the committee, including Chair James Comer, R-Ky., declined to join the letter. A GOP spokesperson criticized the move as “headline-chasing,” noting the letters hold no Committee authority. Democrats have previously acted independently, releasing documents tied to Epstein’s case.
Among these materials was a sketch signed “Donald” in a 2007 book for Epstein’s 50th birthday, which critics linked to former President Donald Trump. Trump denied any connection. Garcia emphasized that “rich and powerful men have evaded justice for far too long,” urging Windsor to “come clean and provide justice for the survivors.”
Windsor’s ties to Epstein have faced scrutiny, including allegations from Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual assault during her teenage years. Her 2025 memoir, “Nobody’s Girl,” led King Charles III to strip Windsor of his title and remove him from Royal Lodge. Windsor settled a 2022 civil lawsuit without admitting guilt, claiming no memory of meeting Giuffre and stating he ended ties with Epstein in 2010.
The committee’s broader inquiry continues, seeking documents from the Justice Department and Epstein’s estate. Some materials, including his address book and a 2007 nonprosecution agreement, have been released. Lawmakers aim to disclose remaining federal files linked to Epstein’s prosecution and death. Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41, months before her memoir’s release.
