The United States has reportedly demanded Prince Andrew be handed over for questioning over his alleged ties with convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.
In an explosive new report from
The Sun, the British Prince faces a court quiz in a move that has bypassed the Palace, as the case against Epstein becomes more
urgent.
It is alleged that Andrew was friendly with Epstein and may also have been involved in his sex trafficking circle.
One key witness, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, claims she had sexual relations with Andrew between 2001 and 2002, when she was underage.
According to the report from
The Sun, the US Department of Justice has
by-passed Buckingham Palace and instead filed a "mutual legal assistance" request to the Home Office.
Ultimately, this means the Prince could be forced to appear in court as a witness within a matter of months.
Earlier this year, it was revealed the Prince had provided "zero cooperation" in the case against Epstein, with US lawyer Geoffrey Berman confirming his actions to the
New York Times.
