Andrew Windsor Faces Congressional Pressure Amidst Refusal to Cooperate
One congressional aide recently revealed that Prince Andrew, also known as Andrew Windsor, has been avoiding returning to the United States as a shield against potential subpoenas from Congress. The aide mentioned, “He knows Congress can’t subpoena him abroad, so staying away is his only shield.”
Another source expressed concerns about Windsor’s reluctance to set foot in America again, stating, “There’s a feeling he will die without ever stepping foot back in America. That’s how deep Andrew’s fear of facing questioning in America appears to run.”
Despite pressure from the oversight committee, Windsor’s advisers in London have chosen not to comment on the congressional request. A source close to him shared, “He sees no legal obligation to go, and absolutely no personal incentive either. He feels he has already said everything.”
Furthermore, a different source emphasized the risks involved for Andrew if he were to travel to the US, saying, “Crossing the Atlantic is basically stepping into a political minefield. Andrew will never do it.”
Observers of the monarchy have speculated on the potential repercussions of Windsor’s decision. One noted, “If he refuses to cooperate, Americans will assume the worst. But if he does cooperate, he risks being humiliated. It’s a lose-lose situation for him.”
While the oversight committee awaits a response from Windsor, members have made it clear that the issue will not be swept under the rug. A source mentioned, “This isn’t going away. Whether Andrew talks to Congress or not, the questions will keep coming.”
