The reason why it is unlikely Andrew would testify in the U.S.

The Prime Minister called for Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before the U.S. Congress as ‘Epstein’s victims have to be the first priority’ for justice.

 

In a recent analysis for The iPaper, Nick Vamos explains that substantial legal obstacles make any testimony from the former Duke highly unlikely. He highlights that U.S. authorities have previously declined to offer assurances that Mountbatten‑Windsor’s statements would not be used against him, a key protection his legal team sought during a 2020 Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) request.

 

Nick adds, without guarantees shielding him from potential self‑incrimination in either the U.S. or the UK, Mountbatten‑Windsor retains the right to refuse questioning, leaving little chance that the situation has changed.
