Police should investigate the actions of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and he should testify before the US Congress.
That’s the view of York Central MP Rachael Maskell, who led the successful campaign for him to be stripped of his royal titles, including the Duke of York.
It follows another release of files related to the disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Pictures which appear to show Andrew crouched over an unidentified woman are featured in the latest disclosure of files linked to Epstein.
And a second woman is alleging that she was sent to the UK by Epstein for a sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Her lawyer has told the BBC that the encounter allegedly occurred at the former prince’s residence, Royal Lodge, in 2010. The woman, who is not British, was in her 20s at the time.
Ms Maskell was asked about the latest allegations on BBC Radio 4 programme Broadcasting House this morning (Sunday).
She said: “It’s strange that the investigation was dropped because the titles were dropped, and absolutely I do think it doesn’t matter if you’ve got titles or no titles.
“Here, we’ve got a powerful man where very serious allegations have been made about his association with very vulnerable women around trafficking, around sexual exploitation.
“There are victims and survivors who are claiming that they were subjugated by this individual. And therefore, of course, every measure should be taken in order to achieve justice.
“And as a result of that, he absolutely must testify before Congress, and a police investigation must ensue, because we have got to ensure that powerful men are not exploiting vulnerable women.”
She added: “The fact that he’s held such high office doesn’t mean that he is above the law, and therefore due process should ensue to ensure that justice can be found.”
Ms Maskell was asked if, having stripping Andrew of his titles, the King has done all he can.
“We don’t know. We don’t know who knew what,” she said.
“And I think everybody must come forward now with every shred of evidence. For instance, we know that he was a trade envoy. What occurred on those trips? Where did he go? When did he go? What happened?
“So I do think there could be a release of further files about his role as trade envoy. So let’s put all the information, all the evidence, on the table for the people that need it so that justice can ensue.”
Prime Minster Sir Keir Starmer also says Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor “should be prepared” to testify before the US Congress about his links to Jeffrey Epstein.
A “victim-centred” approach to dealing with Epstein is the reason Andrew should share information in “whatever form” he is asked, the Prime Minister added.
Andrew has previously vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
