The exchange happened a year after Epstein was released from jail following a sentence for soliciting prostitution from a person under 18.
Another newly released file appears to show Mountbatten-Windsor crouching on all fours over an unknown woman.
Mountbatten-Windsor missed a November deadline to sit for a transcribed interview that was set by the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
During a visit to China and Japan this week, Starmer was asked by reporters whether Mountbatten-Windsor should now apologize to Epstein’s victims and testify to Congress about what he knew.
The prime minister replied: “I have always approached this question with the victims of Epstein in mind. Epstein’s victims have to be the first priority,” he said.
“As for whether there should be an apology, that’s a matter for Andrew,” Starmer added.
