Virginia Giuffre’s family is pushing for Parliamentary hearings in Britain into Jeffrey Epstein, a move that could place Andrew Mountbatten Windsor under renewed and serious scrutiny.
Sky Roberts, Ms Giuffre’s brother and the sibling of the former Duke’s accuser, said he is “actively” working to bring such hearings about.
The proposed UK proceedings would mirror the Congressional hearings in the United States, where prominent figures connected to the Epstein case have been compelled to give evidence.
Mr Roberts said he plans to travel to Britain shortly in an effort to meet Andy Burnham and urge support for a public inquiry into Epstein’s ties to the UK.
He also disclosed that Thames Valley Police officers, who are examining allegations involving Andrew, are expected to travel to the United States in the coming weeks as part of their inquiries.
Andrew was released under investigation after being arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office, amid claims he passed sensitive information to Epstein, the paedophile with whom he had been friends for more than a decade.
Peter Mandelson, the former British ambassador to the United States, was also released under investigation after his arrest on suspicion of misconduct.
Both men have denied the accusations.

Public Parliamentary hearings in Britain could be catastrophic for Andrew who could potentially be called as a witness, alongside ex-UK ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson
Speaking to reporters on a conference call, Mr Roberts said that he ‘absolutely’ wanted to meet with Mr Burnham, the Makerfield MP who is expected to become the next Prime Minister after Sir Keir Starmer announced he was stepping down.
Mr Roberts said: ‘I think the UK is at a really pivotal moment. I could see the same structure starting to get created there with the House Oversight Committee here.
‘There are a lot of things going on with Parliament. We are actively working behind the scenes to guide that. Stay tuned.
‘One hundred percent you will be seeing lots of UK stuff coming forward’.
Mr Roberts’ wife Amanda added they were ‘pushing for a formal inquiry in the UK’.
The prospect of public Parliamentary hearings in Britain could be catastrophic for Andrew and Mr Mandelson, who could both potentially be called as witnesses.
In the US, the House Oversight Committee has called in Epstein’s famous friends including Microsoft founder Bill Gates, for hours of questioning by Democrats and Republicans.
During his interrogation, Mr Gates named three women he had affairs with and discussed excruciating and personal subjects such as whether he ever had a sexually transmitted disease.
Epstein’s former assistant, Sarah Kellen, was another person who testified and spoke about the decade she worked for Epstein, and the abuse she suffered at his hands.
All the Congressional hearings have been behind closed doors, but full transcripts have been released days after each person has testified.
The UK equivalent could be in public and be shown live on TV, as most committee proceedings are.
Potential witnesses could include members of the Royal household who worked with Andrew during the time he was friends with Epstein.
American witnesses who have already testified before Congress could fly to London to tell Parliament what they know about the former Prince.
Earlier this year Thames Valley Police revealed that in Andrew’s case, the inquiry is not just focused on the handling of sensitive information, it also involved alleged sexual impropriety.
Brad Edwards, a US lawyer who has represented hundreds of Epstein victims, has told the BBC that one of his clients was sent by Epstein to Andrew for sex at Buckingham Palace in 2010.
But he has also said she is too scared to talk to the police for fear of public harassment.
Ms Giuffre – pictured with the former royal – claimed that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein loaned her to Andrew three times for sex aged 17 in 2001
Mr Roberts said that officers from Thames Valley have been in contact with him and that they were ‘coming to the US in the coming weeks’.
He said: ‘I do know for certain they did reach out, they are taking this very seriously and wanted to be very clear they are investigating sexual misconduct’.
Ms Giuffre took her own life in April 2025 at the age of 41 in her home near Perth, Western Australia.
She claimed that Epstein loaned her to Andrew three times for sex when she was 17 in 2001.
Andrew always denied her claims but settled a civil battery lawsuit she brought against him in 2022 for a reported £10 million.
The Daily Mail contacted Thames Valley Police for comment.
