Will Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor be extradited to US?

Since the exposure of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has faced ongoing public scrutiny linked to the unfolding revelations.

In the latest, a drive of documents from the infamous Epstein files was released. In it, the former prince appeared again, sparking a strong outcry.

The chorus of criticism reached a level where Keir Starmer, the current prime minister of Britain, had to weigh in, calling for him to testify before the U.S. Congress, which is investigating the deceased paedophile.

Despite the PM’s statement, a member of his cabinet, Steve Reed, who is the UK Communities Secretary, tells Sky News, “You’re asking me now details of legislation that would depend on the type of offence that may or may not have been committed. It’s entirely hypothetical."

“I don’t think it’s sensible for me to come on here and start talking hypothetically about situations that may or may not exist," he adds.

Given Andrew's links with Jeffrey, his brother King Charles stripped him of his princely title last year.

"These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him," the royal statement at the time read.
