Expert Analysis | Can the United States extradite Prince Andrew? It's complicated. | amNewYork
"On the morning of his 66th birthday, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the man formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested by police in the United Kingdom. The arrest came on the heels of the release of 3 million pages of Epstein files, which have reignited scrutiny of Andrew's long-documented ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The files paint a horrifying picture young women and girls exploited, trafficked, and silenced for decades."
"Although diplomats and heads of state enjoy broad immunity from criminal prosecution, King Charles stripped Andrew of all his royal titles in October. Whatever protections his royal position once afforded him, they no longer apply. Even the U.K.'s Prime Minister has called for him to testify before the U.S. Congress about his ties to Epstein. So what hurdles remain? First, and most importantly, Andrew has not yet been charged with any crime."
