Andrew’s troubles far from ending
ANDREW Mountbatten-Windsor may have thought that by giving up his titles, his troubles would be over.
But he is in for a rude awakening.
The disgraced former Duke of York is facing more questions at home and abroad over his shameful links to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The very fact that the Prime Minister is willing to comment on calls for him to give evidence speaks volumes.
Normally, senior politicians would diplomatically say any questions were a matter for the Royal Family.
But as Sir Keir Starmer points out, anyone with information that would help victims should give evidence.

Increasing calls in the US for him to come clean will only intensify if evidence of wrong- doing appears in the soon to be published Epstein Files.
Meanwhile, at home the Met Police are looking into his conduct with royal protection officers after claims he tried to enlist their help to dig up dirt on sex traffic victim Virginia Giuffre.
At the moment there is no evidence this was acted on. But if messages turn up, there may be questions raised over misconduct.
In Andrew’s last legal case, his mother, Queen Elizabeth, paid off his debts with a settlement of up to £12million for Virginia.
But King Charles must tell his brother that he will not get a penny to fund any future fight against new claims.
The King and Queen have already made their position clear.
In their statement stripping Andrew of his titles, they said their sympathies have always been with the victims and survivors of all forms of abuse.
It is high time arrogant Andrew showed the same commitment.
He has always denied wrongdoing so he should answer questions on exactly what he knows.
Then others who suffered under evil Epstein may at last get a shot at justice.
