Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is reportedly being urged to stay in the United Kingdom after losing his remaining titles. As scrutiny surrounding his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein grows, some insiders suggest that authorities may move to restrict his ability to travel, including the possible confiscation of his passport.
According to a source who spoke with RadarOnline, emerging details indicate that Andrews involvement with Epstein may have been more extensive than he has admitted. The source noted concerns that increasing pressure could prompt him to leave the country, adding that many believe he should surrender his passport to law enforcement.
Emails from Epsteins estate are currently under review by the House Oversight Committee in Congress, and several lawmakers are calling for Andrew to testify. Another insider stated that advisers now consider him a potential flight risk, warning that the heightened attention on his ties to Epstein could lead him to relocate quietly unless precautions are taken.
The source also remarked that Andrew might follow the example of other former royals who moved to the Middle East during periods of intense public scrutiny. While some within the royal family might not object to such a move, others argue that limiting his travel is necessary if he is to be held accountable.
This development follows claims that Andrew could soon face legal consequences. Andrew Lownie, author of a recent biography on Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson, told NewsNation that the Duke is likely to face charges relating to public misconduct and could serve time in prison. Lownie emphasized that any charges would stem from financial wrongdoing rather than from sex trafficking accusations.
