Duke of York Could Face Fresh Scrutiny Amid US Legal Developments
Prince Andrew could be facing renewed trouble as pressure mounts in the US to release classified documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The latest development may come as a surprise to the Palace and King Charles III, who had hoped that the controversy surrounding the Duke of York’s ties to Epstein was fading. However, reports indicate that Republicans are now demanding the new US Attorney General publish a long-awaited set of files, including Epstein’s so-called “client list.”
Members of the president’s own party have also voiced frustration over delays in making the documents public, increasing pressure for their release.
An alleged Epstein victim, who received compensation from a fund established after the convicted sex offender’s death in 2019, told The Mirror: “This delay is disgraceful. The refusal to release the papers on Jeffrey only adds to the years of cover-ups and secrecy that have protected powerful predators.”
The 37-year-old continued, “What are they hiding? Who is being protected? Every day these documents are stalled is another day survivors are denied the truth and the justice we deserve.”
For Andrew, this latest legal battle in the US raises fresh concerns about the lingering scandal, despite hopes that it was finally beginning to fade.
