UK Minister Steve Reed ramps up pressure on Prince Andrew to testify in the Epstein investigation, labeling it a "moral obligation" as damaging new photos and files emerge.

The walls of Royal Lodge have never seemed thinner. In a significant escalation of political pressure, UK Housing Secretary Steve Reed has publicly urged Prince Andrew to testify in the US investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, declaring that the victims "deserve and need" his evidence. It is a stunning breach of the usual diplomatic silence surrounding the Royal Family.
Reed’s comments, made during a Sunday interview on Sky News, come in the wake of the release of a "massive trove" of Epstein files, including disturbing photographs that appear to show the former Duke crouching over an unidentified woman. The images have reignited the scandal just as the monarchy hoped it was fading into history.
While Reed stopped short of promising extradition—calling it "entirely hypothetical"—his language was carefully chosen to inflict maximum moral damage. By stating that anyone with "insight" has a duty to come forward, he effectively stripped Andrew of his royal shield, treating him as a private citizen with public responsibilities.
Prince Andrew, now referred to in official correspondence as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has consistently denied all wrongdoing. But with his titles gone and his government now openly questioning his silence, his isolation is complete. The strategy of "wait it out" has failed.
The "hypothetical" question of extradition may soon become a very real constitutional crisis. If US prosecutors formally request his presence, the British government has signaled it will not stand in the way of justice. The message from Westminster to Windsor is clear: You are on your own.
