DOWNFALL: Andrew Windsor with Virginia Guiffre and Ghislaine Maxwell in 2001

Gloria Allred added her voice to growing pressure on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to give evidence before the House Oversight Committee about his links to Epstein and the time he spent with him.

The King stripped his younger brother, 65, of his Prince and Duke of York titles on Thursday night.

And a statement from Buckingham Palace stressed that both his and Camilla’s thoughts were with victims of abuse.

Virginia Giuffre who took her own life earlier this year, claimed that as a teenager she had sex with Andrew on three occasions after being trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Andrew strenuously denies any wrongdoing.
