Disgraced former Duke of York Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson may never return to the United States due to the ongoing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. A report by historian Andrew Lownie has suggested that both individuals are unlikely to travel to the US again, as they wish to avoid possible legal repercussions related to their connections with Epstein.
According to Lownie, author of *Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York*, Andrew and Ferguson are concerned about being summoned to testify before Congress regarding their relationship with Epstein. In an interview with NewsNation, Lownie stated, “Andrew will not respond or testify in front of Congress. He — or his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson — will never travel to the United States again. Neither want to be arrested or forced to testify.”
The implications of the Epstein scandal continue to resonate, particularly following the tragic death of Virginia Giuffre in April 2023. Giuffre alleged in her posthumous memoir, *Nobody’s Girl*, that Epstein coerced her into sexual encounters with Andrew when she was just 17. Lownie indicated that additional victims may soon come to light, potentially involving individuals even younger than Giuffre.
Details of the Allegations
Lownie emphasized the depth of Andrew and Ferguson’s relationship with Epstein, suggesting that it lasted longer and was more intimate than previously understood. He remarked, “Their friendship with Epstein began much earlier than previously thought and that it lasted much longer than people say.” This revelation raises questions about the extent of their involvement in Epstein’s illicit activities.
Ferguson has previously acknowledged borrowing $15,000 from Epstein, but Lownie suggested that the actual amount could be significantly higher. “The total was $2 million,” he asserted, adding that Andrew and Ferguson believed maintaining ties with Epstein could lead to introductions to other royals.
The couple has not publicly commented on the recent allegations or the potential implications regarding their travel to the United States. As the investigation into Epstein’s network continues, further developments may emerge regarding the involvement of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
The ongoing scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s associates highlights the broader impacts of his actions and the legal questions that linger. As more victims come forward, the ramifications for those connected to Epstein may evolve, leading to a significant shift in how these figures are perceived both publicly and legally.
