Seven UK police forces are now reviewing evidence from the Epstein files as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor faces scrutiny over alleged “Lolita Express” flights and historic trafficking claims.

Julia Hartley-Brewer speaks to royal historian Andrew Lownie on Talk about the coordinated investigation and Surrey Police’s call for witnesses to come forward over allegations dating back to 1994.

Lownie says it is now “much harder to duck the bullet” with multiple forces involved, arguing the scale of alleged sex trafficking and potential misconduct in public office demands proper coordination, possibly by the National Crime Agency. He claims the issue is “getting bigger than Andrew” and warns the scandal risks reaching “a Watergate dimension” if questions about oversight and suppression are not addressed.

The interview also examines flight logs into Stansted and Luton, claims that victims were brought to the UK, and long-running FOI battles over Andrew’s time as trade envoy. Lownie says public anger reflects a belief that “there’s one rule for the royals and one rule for everyone else”, warning that without transparency the Prince Andrew Epstein scandal could pose a serious constitutional crisis for the monarchy.

Prince Andrew is facing a widening UK investigation after seven police forces began reviewing evidence from the Epstein files, including flight logs linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s jet and up to 90 trips into Stansted Airport.

Mark Dolan speaks to royal commentator Kinsey Schofield about the growing legal and constitutional pressure on the monarchy.

Schofield warns that once “multiple police forces start reviewing evidence, the story stops being a past embarrassment and becomes a present constitutional threat”, adding that the case keeps the Royal Family tied to Jeffrey Epstein in the public mind and represents “a serious credibility crisis for the institution”. She says the King has tried to remove Andrew from public life but the latest disclosures risk turning a contained scandal into a defining issue of his reign.

The interview also examines the flight records, the coordinated police work across Essex, Thames Valley and the Met, and the wider political fallout, including Hillary Clinton’s calls for testimony and questions around Bill Clinton’s links in the files. Schofield concludes the affair is “a stain on the institution” and warns the future of the monarchy now depends on drawing a clear line under the Prince Andrew Epstein scandal.

Pressure on Prince Andrew is reaching fever-pitch following the release of new Epstein files, with fresh allegations about turning Buckingham Palace 'into a brothel' and emails suggesting he had 'consensual sex' with Virginia Giuffre, fuelling greater calls for a UK police investigation.

Kevin O’Sullivan speaks to royal biographer Angela Levin on Talk about claims the ex Duke of York could face prosecution for a “great many” offences and the mounting pressure on King Charles to respond.

Levin says the revelations are “too disgusting to imagine” and argues the crisis now requires a direct intervention from the monarch, warning that a simple pledge to assist police is “not enough”. She says the allegations are now “in writing” and that Andrew can no longer rely on saying he does not recall events, adding that public anger risks turning into a broader backlash against the Royal Family if the issue is not addressed.

The interview also examines emails referenced in the Epstein files, the legal hurdles around any US testimony, and the reputational fallout for Buckingham Palace. A hard hitting Talk discussion on Prince Andrew, the Epstein papers, King Charles, royal accountability and the growing calls for police action.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is facing fresh international pressure over the Epstein files after Hillary Clinton called for anyone with relevant knowledge to testify before Congress, as a political row involving Donald Trump’s administration alleged "cover up" adds to the transatlantic fallout.

Peter Cardwell speaks to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams about the growing scrutiny on the ex-Duke of York and the implications for the Royal Family.

Fitzwilliams describes Clinton’s intervention as an “extraordinarily powerful claim” demanding transparency, noting that Andrew previously promised to cooperate but has resisted requests from US lawmakers. He says the former prince would fear travelling to the United States because of potential legal consequences, while lawyers could argue the scale of publicity would make a fair trial difficult.

The interview also examines allegations linked to Andrew’s time as UK trade envoy, possible misconduct in public office and his contacts with Jeffrey Epstein, alongside the coordinated work of UK police forces and the Palace’s pledge to assist if formally required. Fitzwilliams warns the situation “gets worse and worse”, highlighting the growing calls for testimony, disclosure and accountability on both sides of the Atlantic.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should have his succession rights revoked so that he is no longer in line to the throne, according to a Labour MP.

Speaking to Mark Dolan on Talk, royal author Andrew Lownie said: "It's very difficult to remove it. He has to get permission from members of the Commonwealth. I think it's very unlikely that that case will happen. So it seems to be a slight distraction."

Lownie continued "I think the focus should be on the police now bringing charges against him for sex trafficking and for misconduct in public office. It's very clear that he has committed this crime, I think. They're investigating Mandelson, so why not Andrew?"

“This is a huge cover-up and it’s only going to get bigger.”

“Both the King and the late Queen have big questions to answer.”

Mountbatten-Windsor is currently eighth in line to the throne.

In October 2025 the government said there were no plans to formally remove Andrew from the line of succession, despite losing royal titles.

Andrew-Mountbatten Windsor has strongly denied any wrongdoing in his association with Jeffrey Epstein.

Prince Andrew is facing mounting calls for a full criminal investigation after the release of all three million Epstein files, with fresh allegations he abused his role as UK trade envoy to leak sensitive information. On Talk, Kevin O’Sullivan speaks to royal author Andrew Lownie, who says the evidence has been “in plain sight for years” and questions why police have yet to act.

Lownie argues the scandal now threatens the wider Royal Family, warning it has been “handled very badly” and suggesting senior figures may have helped protect the ex Duke of York. He says Parliament, the CPS and police must examine not only the Epstein links but Andrew’s financial dealings, overseas trade trips and the role of officials who enabled them.

​Fresh questions over the Epstein papers have placed Prince Andrew back in the spotlight, after claims key references to him were redacted from released documents while pressure builds for UK police to examine the case.

Peter Cardwell speaks to royal author Norman Baker who tells Talk the latest Epstein revelations amount to “treason” in his view, while the handling of the Prince Andrew Epstein scandal raises fundamental questions and asks “who in the Royal Family knew what and when” after the £12 million settlement reportedly funded by senior royals -- including the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Andrew-Mountbatten Windsor is facing fresh scrutiny after the latest Epstein file revelations, with new allegations about the ex- Duke of York intensifying calls for a UK police investigation.

Julia Hartley-Brewer speaks to former Head of Royal Protection Dai Davies on Talk about why the former prince has never been interviewed by police and whether that position is still tenable.

Davies says Prince Andrew “needs investigating by a police service with the courage to go where the evidence takes them”, adding “if you and I had done a fraction of this, we would have had a knock on the door”. He repeats that he has been raising the issue for years and that, where credible evidence exists, the ex-Duke of York should be “questioned under caution like anyone else”.

He argues “people have known about these allegations for a decade and nothing was done”, calling for scrutiny across government, the Foreign Office and security bodies. In a stark verdict on the Andrew-Epstein scandal, Davies says “something rotten is in our establishment”, describes the former duke as “a serially bad man, in my humble opinion”, and calls it “the biggest scandal I can remember in my lifetime”.
