US congressman investigating Epstein files says affair could be ‘the end of the monarchy’

The Jeffrey Epstein saga could spell the “end of the monarchy”, a US congressman has said as he challenged the King and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to “start answering questions”.

Appearing on Newsnight on Monday (9 February), Representative Ro Khanna, Democratic member of the Oversight Committee, claimed that the Royal Family is in an extremely vulnerable position due to Andrew’s ties to the disgraced financier.

He called on Andrew, who has denied all wrongdoing, to testify before Congress.
