US Congressman Warns Epstein Scandal Could Topple British Monarchy
Indian-American Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna has issued a stark warning that the British monarchy faces an existential threat following the latest revelations from the Jeffrey Epstein files. Khanna stated that the Royal Family now finds itself in its most vulnerable position in history due to its connections with the convicted sex offender through former Prince Andrew.
Direct Questions for King and Queen
Khanna emphasized that both King Charles III and Queen Camilla must answer for the Royal Family's association with Epstein. "They ought to ask King and Queen questions," Khanna declared, challenging the notion that royalty should be exempt from accountability. "The Queen is not above questions as she is just a human being and is supposed to be answerable like any other human being."
The Congressman suggested this scandal could have far-reaching political consequences, noting that "the UK government may fall and this may be the end of the British monarchy." He described the Epstein files as "a window into the elite impunity" that has protected powerful figures for too long.
Insufficient Punishment for Prince Andrew
Regarding Prince Andrew's stripped titles, Khanna argued that the punishment falls woefully short of justice. "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," he stated firmly. "There's got to be more than that."
Wider Political Connections Examined
Khanna also addressed concerning allegations involving former UK government minister Peter Mandelson's connections to Epstein. "The allegations are very serious that he was working for Gordon Brown and then feeding information about UK possibly buying Euros and having Epstein trade on them," Khanna revealed. "I mean it is deeply, deeply troubling."
The Congressman referenced an interview with Epstein's former girlfriend who claimed "someone was a loser if they weren't mentioned in the Epstein files," highlighting how the scandal has exposed networks of influence among global elites.
Royal Family's Internal Concerns
Meanwhile, Prince William and Princess Kate have expressed "deep concerns" about the continuing revelations regarding Andrew's close links with Epstein. Their spokesperson confirmed to Sky News: "I can confirm the Prince and Princess of Wales have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations. Their thoughts remain focused on the victims."
This statement marks a significant public acknowledgment of the scandal's impact within the Royal Family's senior ranks, suggesting internal divisions and growing anxiety about the institution's future.
Historical Vulnerability for the Crown
Khanna's assessment presents the most dire warning yet about the potential consequences of the Epstein scandal for the British monarchy. "This is the most vulnerable the British monarchy has ever been," he asserted, suggesting that centuries of tradition and deference may not protect the institution from modern demands for transparency and accountability.
The Congressman's comments reflect growing international scrutiny of how elite institutions handle allegations of serious misconduct, with the Epstein files serving as a catalyst for broader questions about power, privilege, and justice in democratic societies.
