Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Will 'Never Travel' to USA Amid Epstein Scandal, Claims Expert

Andrew was recently confronted with a letter from the U.S. Congress requesting his cooperation in the Jeffrey Epstein inquiry.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson faced public ire after their controversial associations with Jeffrey Epstein resurfaced. Not long after, King Charles stripped them of their royal titles and asked them to vacate Royal Lodge. Mountbatten-Windsor was later confronted with a letter from the U.S. Congress requesting his cooperation in the Epstein inquiry. Weighing in on the turmoil, royal expert Andrew Lownie argued that the former Duke and Duchess of York are highly unlikely to set foot in the USA, given their many scandals.

Speaking to NewsNation, Lownie stressed that Mountbatten-Windsor would never speak about his friendship with Epstein, for fear of digging up more trouble. He continued, "He — or his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson — will never travel to the United States again. Neither wants to be arrested or forced to testify in front of Congress about their friendship with Jeffrey Epstein," adding that "their friendship with Epstein began much earlier than previously thought and that it lasted much longer than people say." Other allegations, as Lownie claimed, coming down the pipeline are that people may "get a stronger sense of the sort of monies that were exchanged and paid to Sarah Ferguson."

While Ferguson has reportedly revealed that she only borrowed $15,000 from the disgraced financier, the royal author alleged that the figure is much higher. He argued, "The total (amount given to Ferguson by Epstein over the years) was $2 million. He [Epstein] felt it was a good investment as (the Yorks) would introduce him to other royals." According to him, many other influential figures were pumping out the Yorks, under the disguise of issuing 'loans.' He added, "There were lots of other people giving them money, including Michael David Tang; I think Richard Branston was giving them money… as well as Lily, the Dowager Duchess of Marlborough…I think the interesting thing about the money is she [Ferguson] didn't pay it back."

Indeed, as Lownie revealed, Mountbatten-Windsor is not keen on cooperating with the US Congress, as the deadline to do so (November 20) has already passed. On November 6, the bombshell letter urged the former Duke to appear before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for a transcribed interview. The committee's members, led by Representatives Robert Garcia and Suhas Subramanyam, said in a statement that his participation could be important in uncovering the truth behind Epstein's criminal actions. The Epstein files, set to be released soon, will certainly cast a dark shadow over Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson's already ruined reputation. 

Regarding the bombshell Epstein files, while alleged efforts are being made to limit what becomes public, Mountbatten-Windsor 'will not be spared' from the exposure, as his silence over the investigation has cost him. His victims' advocates argue that US Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel may invoke national security claims and cite ongoing criminal investigations in an effort to shield Epstein's associates. The files are reportedly held across the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security.
