British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has suggested that former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should cooperate with US authorities investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s files and activities.
“Anyone who has information should be prepared to share it in any form,” Starmer told reporters on Saturday after concluding a visit to Japan.

“You can’t be victim-centred if you’re not prepared to do that,” he added, according to Sky News. “Epstein’s victims must be the priority.”
Asked whether King Charles III’s brother Mountbatten-Windsor should apologize, Starmer said the matter was “up to Andrew” to decide.
His comments came as the U.S. Justice Department said it would release more than 3 million pages of documents, as well as more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, under a law aimed at revealing much of the material gathered in a two-decade investigation involving the wealthy financier. The wealthy financier spent 2019 in a New York jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
The revelations have once again raised questions about whether the former British prince, who was stripped of his titles last year over his friendship with Epstein, should cooperate with U.S. authorities’ investigations.
Mountbatten-Windsor, who has long denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein, has so far ignored requests from members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee for “interview transcripts” about his “long friendship” with the billionaire.
The documents also prompted the resignation of Miroslav Lajcak, a Slovak official who served as president of the UN General Assembly for a year.
Rajak was not accused of wrongdoing but resigned after emails showed Epstein invited him to a 2018 dinner and other meetings.
The newly released documents also reveal Epstein’s email exchanges with Steve Bannon, a former adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump; New York Giants co-owner Steve Tish; and other prominent figures in politics, business and philanthropy, such as billionaires Bill Gates and Elon Musk.
The documents show a March 2018 email from Epstein’s office to former Obama White House general counsel Kathy Ruemmler, inviting her to a party with Epstein, Lajczak and Bannon. Lajczak said his contacts with Epstein were part of his diplomatic duties.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Justice faces criticism for its handling of the latest revelations.
A group of Epstein’s accusers said in a statement that the new documents make it too easy to identify those he abused, but fail to identify those who may have been involved in Epstein’s criminal activities.
“As survivors, we should never be those who are named, scrutinized and re-victimized while Epstein’s enablers continue to benefit from secrecy,” it said.
