The call for Prince Andrew to testify in the ongoing investigation into the Epstein sex trafficking scandal has taken on new urgency following King Charles's decision to formally strip his younger brother of his royal titles. This move, while long overdue, highlights the pervasive culture of privilege and impunity that has allowed powerful men like Andrew to evade accountability for far too long.
Epstein's victims, who have shown incredible bravery in coming forward to share their stories, deserve nothing less than a full and transparent accounting of the role that Prince Andrew and other members of the global elite played in enabling and perpetuating this horrific abuse. It is a travesty of justice that survivors have had to fight for years to be heard and believed, while their abusers have been shielded by wealth, status, and a system that prioritizes the protection of the powerful over the rights of the vulnerable.
The stripping of Andrew's titles is a step in the right direction, but it must not be the end of the story. The US lawmakers calling for his testimony are absolutely right to demand that he be held to account for his actions, and that the full scope of Epstein's trafficking operation be brought to light. This is not just about one man's crimes, but about a broader culture of exploitation and abuse that has been allowed to flourish unchecked for decades.
As we move forward, we must not only seek justice for Epstein's victims, but also work to dismantle the systemic inequities that have allowed such abuses to occur in the first place. This means holding powerful institutions - from governments to corporations to the monarchy itself - accountable for their role in perpetuating harm, and working to build a society where no one is above the law, and where the voices of survivors are centered and uplifted.
Only by confronting these difficult truths and taking bold action to address them can we hope to build a more just and equitable world - one where the rights and dignity of all people are respected, and where those who abuse their power are held to account.
