‘Most vulnerable monarchy has ever been’: US Congressman Ro Khanna warns Epstein files could topple British throne

He further called on King Charles to reveal what he knew about Andrew’s ties to Epstein, and emphasised that stripping titles isn’t enough accountability.

“If you have allegations of raping a young girl, I don’t think the appropriate punishment is that you no longer get to be Prince. There’s got to be more than that,” the Democrat said.

Epstein files 2026

The release of over three million pages of documents, images and videos by the US Department of Justice linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has triggered a political and institutional reckoning across Europe, toppling ambassadors, senior aides, advisers, and forcing rare apologies from royalty.

The most dramatic fallout has been in the United Kingdom, where the controversy has engulfed the government of Keir Starmer, less than a year after Labour returned to power with a landslide victory.

The crisis stems from Starmer’s decision to appoint veteran Labour figure Peter Mandelson as Britain’s ambassador to the United States despite his known association with Epstein. Newly released documents indicated Mandelson maintained contact with Epstein while serving as business secretary and allegedly shared confidential information, prompting a criminal investigation by UK police.

Mandelson was subsequently removed from his diplomatic post and resigned from the House of Lords and the Labour Party, turning what was initially defended as a lapse in judgment into a defining political crisis for the Prime Minister.
