The Palace has previously expressed that the King’s “sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse”.
In his letter, Khanna said: “Epstein’s network had significant ties to the United Kingdom through Ghislaine Maxwell, through Epstein’s relationships with British public figures, and through the social and political circles in which he operated.”
These connections, he wrote, “raise broader questions about how Epstein was able to maintain influence, credibility, and protection across borders for so long”.
The California lawmaker also noted that members of Congress have sought testimony from the King’s brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as well as Peter Mandelson, the UK’s former ambassador to the US, about their ties to Epstein.
Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his titles last year due to his ties with Epstein, cannot be forced by a subpoena to go to the US and has not responded to the request.
He has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing in his associations with Epstein.
