Prince Andrew ‘terrified’ amid calls for fresh FBI probe: report

A friend of the duke has lifted the lid on concerns he’s ‘scared’ in the wake of a damaging email coming to light.

Disgraced Prince Andrew is said to be too scared to visit the US again amid fresh calls for an FBI probe into the scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew, 64, has left the UK only once in almost six years.

The Duke of York fears he may be arrested after revelations in court documents prompted calls for a new criminal investigation.

President Donald Trump’s pick to be FBI director has vowed to “do everything” to expose accomplices of late pedophile Epstein.

And a lawyer for victims says the UK Government should “turn him (Andrew) over” for questioning.

A friend of the prince told The Sun: “He is terrified if he goes to America he could be arrested, face civil action or be subpoenaed.

“He used to be Air Miles Andy but he’ll never risk going to America again.

“Since the whole thing blew up, he’s only been to Bahrain, where he has friends. There hasn’t been a single golf trip to Spain or holiday abroad.”

Spencer Kuvin, US lawyer for many of Epstein’s victims, said: “The British monarchy should be embarrassed. He should be fully separated from the monarchy and the public should never be subsidising someone who has either such bad judgment to be friends with this man or could have been involved with him.

“The President should require his new FBI director to fully investigate Andrew’s conduct.

“The Government should turn him over for that and demand he volunteer himself to be a part of it. The King should do that,

“Andrew should be held accountable by the monarchy.”

The prince paid millions to Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre in an out-of-court settlement three years ago, while denying sexual assault accusations.

In 2020, the FBI asked Britain’s Home Office for help to quiz Andrew. That investigation was paused last year.

Last week, UK High Court files revealed the duke had emailed Epstein in February 2011 saying “we’ll play some more soon”.

But in his BBC Newsnight interview, Andrew said he ceased contact with Epstein in December 2010 after they were pictured in New York.

Mr Kuvin said: “Victims have always wanted everyone involved in the Epstein circle to be fully prosecuted. That includes any powerful person.”
