King Charles would reportedly like his brother Prince Andrew to testify before the United States Congress, according to a close friend of the monarch. Historian and broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby has suggested that His Majesty wants his brother to assist with investigations into convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Dimbleby's Insights on Royal Sentiments
Jonathan Dimbleby, who has been a close friend of King Charles for over three decades and authored his biography, shared his views during an interview with BBC Newsnight. He stated, "I would strongly believe, I cannot say with absolute certainty, but I strongly believe that he would very much like him to stand up and testify, but knows to stand up and say that is a hiding to nothing."
Dimbleby further elaborated that Charles is deeply troubled by the allegations involving Andrew. He remarked, "It would be astonishing if he was not concerned, appalled by the allegations and of course affected in his role as monarch as well, because the headlines are all about this, which, you know, no institution wants that, and he is trying to do and is doing an extraordinary job in his role as head of state."
Mounting Pressure on Prince Andrew
These comments come as pressure intensifies on Prince Andrew, whose name has surfaced in the recently released Epstein files. The documents reveal that police are being urged to launch a sex trafficking probe into Andrew, following claims that a woman was flown on one of Epstein's private jets and smuggled into Buckingham Palace using the codename Mrs Windsor.
The paedophile financier's Boeing 727–100 private jet, allegedly used for orgies and trafficking girls, landed approximately 90 times in the United Kingdom, including after his 2008 conviction for child sex offences. Stansted Airport, Britain's fourth busiest, is said to have served as a hub for transferring victims between Epstein's aircraft.
Allegations of Palace Involvement
Yesterday, it was claimed that at least one Epstein victim was flown into Britain and then taken to meet Andrew at Buckingham Palace. The disgraced former Duke of York allegedly instructed aides, "Mrs Windsor will arrive shortly, please let her in and show her up." Sources indicate that other women were similarly whisked into the palace using coded requests, bypassing security clearance.
Andrew has been linked to four women in the Epstein Files, alongside Virginia Giuffre. The Mail on Sunday reported this week that Epstein brought a young Romanian model to a private dinner at Buckingham Palace with Andrew, where Epstein noted the royal found her "beautiful" and commented, "No man looks at your clothes, they see through them."
Calls for Criminal Investigation
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has described the situation as "by far the biggest scandal of all" and has urged Scotland Yard to initiate a criminal investigation into Andrew, extending beyond misconduct in public office and breach of the Official Secrets Act. Brown stated, "The Stansted revelations alone require them to interview Andrew. I have been told privately that the investigations related to the former Prince Andrew did not properly check vital evidence of flights."
Further Revelations from Epstein Files
The Epstein Files have exposed the extensive use of Epstein's private jet in the UK, with flight logs showing landings at Stansted, Heathrow, and smaller airports across southern England. Additional details include Andrew inviting Epstein and a Russian model named Vera to dinner at Buckingham Palace during a London trip, and Epstein offering to introduce Andrew to a 26-year-old Russian woman known as "Irina" in August 2010.
As these revelations continue to unfold, the pressure on Prince Andrew mounts, with King Charles reportedly hoping for his brother's cooperation in the ongoing investigations.
