Dodgy Prince Andrew ‘MUST testify to FBI over Epstein paedophile scandal – he has questions to answer’
PRINCE Andrew must testify to the FBI over the paedophile scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, an expert claims.
Newsweek’s Royal Editor Jack Royston told The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson on the Royal Exclusive Show that the duke has “questions to answer”.
It comes in response to discussions of Andrew’s 65th birthday last Wednesday – which he didn’t widely celebrate as he continues to shy away from the public eye.
He is said to have gone horse riding around the grounds of the Royal Lodge on the day.
Andrew’s dialled-down birthday celebrations come after there was uproar about the bells at Westminster being rung on his birthday years prior.
Questions still loom around Andrew and his friendship with Epstein which “he should be answering,” Newsweek’s Royal Editor Jack Royston explained.
He said: “I think he should have given a deposition to the FBI.
“They weren’t even trying to speak to him as a suspect they wanted to speak to him as a witness.
“It was the least he could have done.”
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 the Home Office for help to quiz Andrew.
That investigation was paused last year.
In late January, the High Court files revealed Andy 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.”
Jack also delved into the trouble Andrew may be bringing to the King – especially after his recent scrutiny for being friends with alleged Chinese spy Yang Tenbo.
During a tribunal hearing, judges concluded Yang had not been honest about his links to the Chinese state and could exploit his relationship with the duke and other public figures.
Jack said: “He’s now bringing more pressure and more concern for Charles with his relationship with his Chinese alleged spy Yang Tengbo, who obviously denies being a spy.
“And we are now getting more and more stories coming out about where Andrew is getting his money from which suggests that Yang Tengbo might have been the thin edge of the wedge.
“For Charles, obviously, Andrew’s going to need money if he’s going to stay at Royal Lodge for the rest of his life he’s going to need money, major amounts of money for the rest of his life.
“And if I was Charles I’d be very concerned about where that money is going to come from.
“Because if he’s willing to become a close confidant of a guy who basically the British think is a Chinese spy, who’s asking him to smuggle people in and out past security unseen, who’s clearly trying to foster a particular type of relationship that has rule-breaking sewn into it?
“I mean that is absolutely the behaviour of somebody who is trying to cultivate a source, an asset, a contact.
“I would be very worried about the Andrew situation if I was Charles.”
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.
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 paedophile Epstein.
And a lawyer for victims says the UK Government should “turn him (Andrew) over” for questioning.
A pal of the Prince said: “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.”

Watch the shock moment MAFS star Hannah breaks down in tears as she comes face to face with rival at explosive reunion
MARRIED At First Sight UK fans can expect drama, drama, drama on tonight’s very special reunion show.
The episode is set to be so explosive that Hannah Norburn will be seen crying as she gets ready to come face-to-face with her rival.
During her time on MAFS, Hannah was involved in plenty of drama
She clashed with Polly and Holly after she was accused of flirting with Sionainn Carmichael‘s husband Ryan Livesey.
Things imploded when she found solace with another groom, Orson, even sharing a kiss with him after his marriage collapsed.
However, by the reunion she made a reappearance and was revealed to be dating Ryan outside of the experiment.
Their relationship didn’t last however, with the couple going their separate ways shortly after.
However, it’s her beef with Holly that is set to blow up again at the Married At First Sight reunion, which airs tonight.
In a sneak peek to the episode this evening, which sees MAFS stars from all different series’ come together, Hannah can be seen getting anxious at Holly’s arrival.
She’s heard saying how just the “thought of Holly arriving” makes her want to cry.
The two women had numerous rows on the show, and some of them were pretty hard to watch.
At some point Holly and her pal Polly were both accused of being “bullies” towards Hannah.
NEW MAN IN HANNAH’S LIFE
Meanwhile, this latest news comes just days after The Sun exclusively revealed that Hannah is dating the newly single Paul Liba.
They both appear on tonight’s reunion special together.
A source told us: “They’ve been secretly sneaking out on dates for a while and wanted to keep things under wraps but it all came out at the reunion filming.
“Nothing stays secret in the world of MAFS because everyone knows everyone.”
Paul appeared on the 2023 version of the show, getting married to bride Tasha Jay.
The couple remained together after the show aired, but shocked fans when they announced they split after a year together in November 2024.
Tasha posted a statement online that read: “It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing Paul and I have decided to part ways.
“There isn’t any major reason, we have just come to terms with the fact that we are not right for each other.
“Paul is the loveliest guy I’ve ever met and I’m grateful for the time we’ve shared together and I’m glad that we can remain friends.
“I’m utterly heartbroken that I’m having to write this post, but it is best for both of us.’
“Thank you to everyone who has supported us as a couple. I hope you can now support us on our individual journeys.”
In comparison, Hannah had a disastrous time on MAFS, joining the show as a late bride and tying the knot with Stephen Nolson.
But despite initially seeming like a good fit, the pair’s relationship dissolved quickly – and it was only made worse when the girls of the group didn’t get along with her.
You can watch the drama unfold tonight on E4 at 9pm
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
Nicky Henderson hints at shock Cheltenham entry for horse banned from big race
NICKY HENDERSON has hinted at a stunning Cheltenham entry for a horse banned from one of the big races at the Festival.
Legendary Seven Barrows boss Hendo had mapped out a route to the Morebattle Hurdle for awesome William Hill Hurdle winner Joyeuse.
But she wasn’t among the 23 entries for Saturday’s big contest at Kelso.
And now Henderson says ‘everything is under consideration’ – including a shot at the Mares’ Hurdle – for the JP McManus-owned, £200,000 half-sister to former Champion Hurdle winner Epatante.
Joyeuse hasn’t met the five-run criteria for the County Hurdle, the race for which she was cut to 8-1.
She has raced four times over hurdles altogether, three times this season, winning her latest by eight lengths from Lump Sum and being put up 15lbs to 138 in the process.
Now a possible supplementary entry to the Mares’ Hurdle at a cost of £4,800 could be on the cards.
Henderson said: “She’s fine but she’s not going to Kelso.
“Everything is under consideration for her I would say, we can put it like that, we haven’t got any further.
“We did think about Kelso but it was only three weeks ago and she would have had an awful lot of weight, so we’ve decided to leave that.”
Any supplementary entries for the Mares’ must be made by noon on March 5, with declarations four days later.
Joyeuse was immediately introduced at 5-1 for the Mares’ with Unibet while William Hill and 888 went 7-1.
Gordon Elliott’s Brighterdaysahead is 1-2 fav for the Grade 1 but could be Champion Hurdle-bound.
The Betfair Exchange knows what’s happening before it’s official – as was the case with Kawaboomga being ruled out of the Festival.
And it could be telling that Brighterdaysahead is no longer favourite on there for the Mares’, having been replaced by Jade De Grugy.
Brighterdaysahead was matched as low as 1.8 but has drifted all the way out to 4.5, while she is 4.7 for the Champion Hurdle.
On the sportsbooks, Willie Mullins’ pair Lossiemouth (5-4) and Jade De Grugy (5-2) are second and third-favs respectively for the Mares’.
While Henry de Bromhead’s July Flower is a best-price 6-1.

Major motorway used by 120,000 drivers every day to close over TWO weekends next month – plan your journey
A MAJOR motorway used by 120,000 drivers every day is set to close over two weekends next month.
The M27 will close on several nights in March, April, and May, National Highways has announced.
As part of a £83 million project, the M27 near Southampton is being resurfaced with 180mm of lower-noise asphalt.
The work is set to take place on the eastbound carriageway, between junctions 5 and 7.
It will begin in February 2025 and its estimated finish is Spring 2026.
This comes after years of complaints from local residents regarding road noise.
National Highways also plans to “clear vegetation” and “prepare the westbound carriageway for the next traffic management phase”.
An update on its website said: “This project will provide a low-noise surface along the M27 between junctions 5 and 7.
“We’re also making significant drainage improvements to the road and safety improvements to the central reservation.
“All together these measures will ensure a smoother ride for drivers, make the road quieter, improve safety and ensure the road lasts longer.”
The M27 is a motorway in Hampshire which connects Cadnam and Portsmouth.
It is 27.9 miles long and opened around 1975.

I worked in a 5-star hotel – this is the cheap cleaning product we swear by, it does everything
LUXURY hotels always look immaculate, but the secret to keeping them spotless isn’t expensive cleaning products or high-end solutions.
According to an ex-hotel cleaner, the real secret weapon used in five-star hotels is a cheap £1 supermarket staple.
Speaking to Hyperion Tiles, specialists in flooring and maintenance, the former hotel cleaner revealed that bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) is a go-to cleaning essential across high-end hotels.
And that’s all thanks to its versatility, stain-removing power, and odour-neutralising properties.
The handy product can be used to lift stains from carpets and upholstery without the need for harsh chemicals.
It also neutralise odours in rooms, bathrooms, and even inside mini-fridges.
You can even use it to keep bathroom grout and tile looking fresh by removing built-up dirt.
Other uses include gently polishing metal fixtures without scratching surfaces and absorbing moisture in humid environments to prevent musty smells.
According to Hyperion Tiles, bicarbonate of soda is particularly useful for cleaning high-end tiles and flooring, as it breaks down grime without damaging delicate materials—something many chemical cleaners fail to do.
And they say this is perfect for luxury hotels focusing on long-term maintenance, as they can avoid harsh chemicals that can damage surfaces over time.
Many professional cleaners find that commercial cleaning sprays leave a sticky residue or strong chemical odours, whereas bicarbonate of soda cleans gently and absorbs unwanted smells without overpowering fragrances.
So if you want to clean like a luxury hotel professional, here’s some baking soda tricks you can try at home:
Carpets & upholstery: Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda over the fabric, leave for 30 minutes, then vacuum to remove trapped odours.
Grout & bathroom tiles: Mix bicarbonate of soda with a little water to form a paste, apply it to grout lines, let sit for 10 minutes, then scrub with a brush.
Fresh-smelling fridges & bins: Place an open container of bicarbonate of soda inside to absorb lingering odours.
Scuff-free floors: Lightly sprinkle on marks or stains, wipe gently with a damp cloth, then buff clean.
A spokesperson for Hyperion Tiles added: “Bicarbonate of soda is one of the most effective and affordable cleaning solutions, and it’s surprising how many high-end hotels rely on it.
“It’s proof that expensive doesn’t always mean better when it comes to cleaning.”
Major broadband and mobile provider with 18.3million customers to hike bills up to £36 in weeks
A MAJOR broadband and mobile provider is to hike bills by up to £36 in a matter of weeks.
A number of Vodafone‘s 18.3million customers will see prices increase come April.
The price hike comes as part of the firm’s annual mid-contract price rise, which means bills will go up automatically for many customers.
It follows similar increases from Sky, BT and EE with some providers hiking bills by as much as 13%.
If you signed your Vodafone contract before, July 2 2024 your price rise will be based on December’s Consumer Prices Index (CPI) which hit 2.5%.
There will also be an additional 3.9% increase set by the company.
Now for customers whose contracts started before July 2nd 2024 their average broadband contract will increase by £22.73 to £378.
Meanwhile for customers whose contracts started after July 2 2024 their annual bill will rise by £36 to £391.
Vodafone mobile customers – who started their contract before July 2 2024 – will see their £284.40 yearly bill rise by £15.90 to £264.
While those who started after, excluding Vodafone Basic customers, will see their bill rise by £21.60 to £270.
The new pricing system follows an Ofcom crackdown on mid-contract price rises that catch customers out.
As of January 15, providers have banned from doing this in percentage terms and now have to include an exact pounds and pence figure in your contract – but this will still mean customers have to pay extra.
Vodafone said back in June 2024 that it would no longer apply these price hikes for consumers and some small businesses.
However, the change will only affect new customers of those renewing a contract with the telecom provider after this date.
For instance, customers who sign a contract in August 2024 will have their bills adjusted in April 2025 and and then again in April 2026 by a predetermined amount.
This works out as:
- From £1 more per month for mobile services
- £3 more per month for broadband
Vodafone has previously said that price increases will not be applied to customers identified as financially vulnerable or those on social tariffs.
This includes customers on Vodafone’s social broadband tariff dubbed “Vodafone Essentials”.
Pay-as-you-go users won’t be affected by the change as they aren’t signed up to a fixed contract.
OTHER PROVIDERS ALSO HIKING PRICES
Vodafone is not the only broadband and mobile firm hiking bills for customers.
For example, BT which also owns EE and Plusnet, said that from March 2025, the price of mobile contracts will rise by £1.50 a month (SIM-only) or £4 (handset plans).
Broadband tariffs will go up by £3 a month and £2 for TV.
But, the provider has assured vulnerable customers on BT Home Essentials contracts that they will be exempt from any price rises.
For those who took out a deal before this, a 6.4% rise will apply (3.9% and December’s inflation rate, which was 2.5%).
Plusnet will also increase its broadband price by £3 per month from the end of March for contracts taken out after July 11, 2024.
For contracts started prior to this date, a 6.4% hike will apply.
Sky customers face a 6.2% increase from April 1, adding up to £38 more per year
While the new Ofcom rules require providers to specify future price rises in pounds and pence upfront, it only applies if they are linked to inflation.
Sky’s are not, so it can go ahead with a percentage increase.
For example, if you currently pay £39 per month for Sky TV, Netflix, and Full Fibre 150 broadband, your bill will increase by £2.42, bringing the total to £41.42 a month.
The same rises will apply to NOW Broadband, which is owned by Sky.
If you’re on a broadband and mobile social tariff, you won’t see an increase to your bills because Sky and Now has frozen its tariffs.
Out of contract Sky Mobile customers will see bills rise by £1.50 a month.

CUT YOUR TELECOM COSTS
By James Flanders, Chief Consumer Reporter
Switching contracts is one of the single best ways to save money on your mobile, broadband and TV bills.
But if you can’t switch mid-contract without facing a penalty, you’d be best to hold off until it’s up for renewal.
But don’t just switch contracts because the price is cheaper than what you’re currently paying.
Take a look at your minutes and texts, as well as your data usage, to find out which deal is best for you.
For example, if you’re a heavy internet user, it’s worth finding a deal that accommodates this so you don’t have to spend extra on bundles or add-ons each month.
In the weeks before your contract is up, use comparison sites to familiarise yourself with what deals are available.
It’s a known fact that new customers always get the best deals.
Sites like MoneySuperMarket and Uswitch all help you customise your search based on price, allowances and provider.
This should make it easier to decide whether to renew your contract or move to another provider.
However, if you don’t want to switch and are happy with the service you’re getting under your current provider – haggle for a better deal.
You can still make significant savings by renewing your contract rather than rolling on to the tariff you’re given after your deal.
If you need to speak to a company on the phone, be sure to catch them at the right time.
Make some time to negotiate with your provider in the morning.
This way, you have a better chance of being the first customer through on the phone, and the rep won’t have worked tirelessly through previous calls which may have affected their stress levels.
It pays to be polite when getting through to someone on the phone, as representatives are less inclined to help rude or aggressive customers.
Knowing what other offers are on the market can help you to make a case for yourself to your provider.
If your provider won’t haggle, you can always threaten to leave.
Companies don’t want to lose customers and may come up with a last-minute offer to keep you.
It’s also worth investigating social tariffs. These deals have been created for people who are receiving certain benefits.
Kylie Jenner skips attending SAG Awards with Timothee Chalamet after glam squad member Jesus Guerrero’s sudden death
KYLIE Jenner skipped attending the SAG Awards with Timothee Chalamet, after the death of her glam squad ember Jesus Guerrero.
Actor Timothee, 29, looked visibly shocked as his name was called and he won the best male actor announcement.
His girlfriend Kylie has been accompanying him to awards ceremonies that he’s been attending for his portrayal as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.
But the Kardashian’s star was noticeably absent from the SAG Awards, after the death of Jesus Guerrero – which was revealed on Sunday 23 February.
Instead, Timothee attended the awards ceremony with his mother, Nicole Flender.
The Los Angeles-based hairdresser, 34, who had a close bond with the Kardashians alum, has now “gone to Heaven” according to his sister Gris.
Jesus’ cause of death has not yet been revealed, with make-up mogul Kylie, 27, also not releasing a public tribute as yet.
Kylie Jenner has not posted on social media since the heartbreaking news was announced.
On Saturday, Jesus’ younger sister Gris released an emotional statement confirming the passing of the Texas native – and revealing the family had set up a GoFundMe page in his honor.
She wrote in her emotional message: “My name is Gris, Jesus’s younger sister.
“It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven.
“He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more.”
She added: “Born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents, Jesus learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top.
“Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly.
“Currently, his family is taking care of his personal belongings and accommodations to bring him home to Houston.
“We hope that you find it in your heart to help in any way and/or share this GoFundMe.”
Jesus’ tragic passing came after his trip with his “main girly” Kylie in January.
He took to his Instagram grid to upload a snap showing the pair posing for a mirror selfie, as well as a slew of Kylie’s stunning looks.
On January 7, Kylie ‘liked’ an image he posted of her Golden Globes hairstyle, which left one fan gushing: “You are KILLING it with her hair recently!!!”
Previously, the Kylie Cosmetics founder joked about a haircut from her close pal and quipped on her page: “@jesushair said he was giving me a trim and cut off all my hair.”
His most recent Instagram post, uploaded on February 3, showcased a collection of his hairstyles for famous faces at the Grammy’s.
Jesus was also known for styling J-Lo and Katy Perry‘s locks, creating the later’s infamous spiked style last year.
