London — Pressure is mounting on former Prince Andrew to present evidence to a US Congressional committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein, convicted sex offender after the British Prime Minister suggested he should testify.

Keir Starmer declined to comment directly on King Charles III’s disgraced younger brother, but told journalists traveling with him to the Group of 20 summit in Johannesburg that as a “general principle” people should provide evidence to investigators.

“I don’t comment on his particular case,” Starmer said. “But as a general principle that I have long held is that anyone who has relevant information in relation to these types of cases should provide that evidence to those who need it.”

The former prince, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has so far ignored a request from members of the House Oversight Committee for a “transcribed interview” about his “long friendship” with Epstein. Andrew was Stripped of his royal titles and honors last month as the royal family attempted to insulate itself from criticism over its relationship with Epstein.

Starmer’s comments came after Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the ranking Democrat on the committee, and Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., said Andrew “continues to hide” from serious questions.

“Our work will continue with or without him, and we will hold accountable anyone who was involved in these crimes, regardless of their wealth, status or political party,” they said in a statement released Friday. “We will get justice for the survivors.”
