Prince Andrew, the disgraced Duke of York, is reportedly too terrified to ever set foot in the US again as the FBI faces fresh calls to investigate his late friend and convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. Sources claim that Andrew’s fears of arrest, civil lawsuits, or being subpoenaed are preventing him from traveling. Recent revelations have sparked calls for a criminal probe into Epstein’s inner circle, including Andrew.
President Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, has promised to expose those involved in Epstein’s network. Spencer Kuvin, an attorney for Epstein’s victims, has called for the UK government to turn Andrew over for questioning and distance itself from him. Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on the matter.
Andrew has denied claims against him and previously stated that he has no recollection of meeting Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual assault. In February 2022, both parties reached a settlement in principle in Giuffre’s lawsuit against Andrew. Despite admitting no wrongdoing, Andrew expressed regret over his association with Epstein.
The FBI had previously requested assistance from the UK Home Office to question Andrew, but the investigation was paused for unknown reasons in 2024. Recent evidence shows that Andrew maintained contact with Epstein after claiming to have severed ties with him, leading to increased scrutiny on the royal’s involvement with the convicted sex offender.
Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial. Andrew’s efforts to distance himself from the scandal have been complicated by revelations of continued communication with Epstein. This ongoing controversy has significantly impacted Andrew’s ability to travel and has brought renewed attention to his relationship with Epstein.
