Andrew Faces Testimony

Prince Andrew is under fresh scrutiny as attorney Gloria Allred calls for him to testify before Congress regarding his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. A revealing biography sheds light on Andrew's questionable actions and Epstein's allegations. His continued silence only deepens public distrust in the monarchy's accountability, fueling skepticism about royal privilege in Britain.
