Prime Minister Keir Starmer pressed Prince Andrew on Thursday to provide testimony to UK and US probes into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. ‘Anybody who has any information should testify,’ Starmer told BBC Breakfast. He added that core principles demand equality under the law for everyone.

The comments ramp up pressure on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who turns 65 today. Photos in recently released Epstein files show him kneeling over a young woman. Emails suggest he shared confidential details from his UK trade envoy role with Epstein, who died in a New York prison in 2019.

Nine police forces across England and Scotland are assessing whether to open full investigations. The Metropolitan Police started initial inquiries into claims involving royal protection officers. A former officer alleged that Royalty and Specialist Protection command members may have seen abuse on Epstein’s Little St James island in the US Virgin Islands.

Scotland Yard is probing accusations that officers ignored misconduct during Andrew’s visits to the Caribbean property, which Epstein bought in 1998. Survivors have claimed they were trafficked there and assaulted. Andrew has denied all such allegations.

Surrey Police called for witnesses to Epstein file claims of human trafficking and sexual assault in Virginia Water from 1994 to 1996. An FBI report from July 2020, included in the files, described someone drugged and taken to illicit parties in the mid-1990s. The same account mentions a dark blue car driven by Prince Andrew striking the person, causing rib, hip and leg injuries.

Essex Police, Thames Valley Police, Bedfordshire Police, Norfolk Constabulary, Wiltshire Police, West Midlands Police and Police Scotland are scrutinizing Epstein’s UK airport use, per flight logs in the documents. A redacted US Department of Justice report from December sparked these reviews.

The National Crime Agency is aiding forces with a ‘full and independent assessment,’ it said. Starmer emphasized a duty for anyone with information on violence against women and girls to come forward, regardless of status.

Andrew faces calls to testify in a US congressional probe too. His main accuser, Virginia Giuffre—who died last year—alleged she was paid to have sex with him three times in the early 2000s, including on Little St James. He settled a related civil suit in 2022 without admitting liability and lost his HRH style and military titles that year over the scandal.

Starmer said he supports MPs pursuing a parliamentary debate on Andrew’s Epstein links and royal security. He would not block such efforts.
