has been tarnished for some time because of his connection with Epstein.

I think it remains to be seen whether the recent allegations against the former Prince Andrew result in kind of a broad debate.

shift in public opinion against the royal family at large.

But I think it's fair to say that Americans, whether they like it or don't like it, are really fascinated by the institution of the royal family, particularly given that it's something so different from the system we have here.

It's a fascination in both a good and a bad way, I think.

You mentioned Congress, but will ordinary Americans draw comparisons between how the Epstein affair has been treated in the U.S.

and elsewhere?

Well, I've already seen quite a lot of public reaction noting that in the U.K.

there's been investigations and suggestions of possible prosecutions.

Most recently, of course, with the former Prince Andrew, we've also seen comparisons being made to the case of Peter Mandelson.

And really here in the U.S., we actually haven't seen any movement in terms of legal accountability for anyone involved.

really mentioned in the files, even if there's been people resigning, there's been no suggestion that there'll be any further arrest as a result of these files.

I think it's also worth mentioning that House Democrats here have requested an interview with Andrew citing a 2011 email exchange and accusations made by survivors, as well as some recent photographs that

came out in the files.

But they have no power to compel him to come.

And Republicans that control the committee haven't signaled a willingness to do so.

So I think there'll be renewed calls from those Democrats and from the U.S.

public that Andrew also come to the U.S.

to answer questions from lawmakers here.
