Asked on the final day of a visit this week to China and Japan whether King Charles III's brother should answer US lawmakers' questions about his knowledge of the American financier's wrongdoing, Mr Starmer replied "yes".

"I've always said anybody that [has] got information should be prepared to share that information in whatever form they are asked to do that," he told reporters.

"Because you can't be victims-centred if you are not prepared to do that," the British leader added, noting Epstein's victims "have to be the first priority".
