Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's future appears increasingly uncertain after
King Charles III forced his brother out of Royal Lodge following renewed attention on
Virginia Giuffre's assault allegations against the former duke.
"While there are worse things in the world than relocating, I think everything about the Royal Lodge move will be a nightmare for the prince, and 2026 could be even harder than last year for the former prince if he appears in any more Epstein files,"
Jasmine Carey wrote for
Daily Express.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who has faced criticism over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, could be further implicated by Congress' investigation into the Epstein files.
_
Democratic members of Congress sent Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor a letter requesting that he testify before the Oversight Committee.
"The committee is seeking to uncover the identities of Mr, Epstein's co-conspirators and enablers and to understand the full extent of his criminal operations," the letter read, per
Al Jazeera.

"Well-documented allegations against you, along with your longstanding friendship with Mr. Epstein, indicate that you may possess knowledge of his activities relevant to our investigation," the letter continued.

Jasmine Carey noted that as the public learns more about Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's personal relationships could be impacted.
"If his name crops up in any more Epstein files, he may not only continue to be disliked by a vast majority of the public, but his daughters may also drift away from their father too," Carey wrote.
