The release of over 3 million documents related to Jeffrey Epstein has sent shockwaves through Britain, putting the spotlight on the country's royal family and politicians. The documents reveal that Epstein had ties with prominent figures, including Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, and Peter Mandelson.
Prince Andrew, who has already been stripped of his royal titles, is facing renewed calls to testify before the US Congress about his relationship with Epstein. The documents show that Andrew maintained contact with Epstein even after his 2008 conviction for child sex offences, contradicting his previous claims of cutting ties in 2010.
Sarah Ferguson, Andrew's ex-wife, is also under scrutiny, with emails showing she expressed gratitude to Epstein and even asked him for help with her finances. Ferguson has apologized for her association with Epstein, saying she "abhorred paedophilia".
Peter Mandelson, a former UK ambassador to the US, has faced backlash for his ties to Epstein. The documents reveal that Mandelson received payments from Epstein and even leaked a sensitive government document to him. Mandelson has resigned from the Labour Party and faces calls to be stripped of his House of Lords membership.
The scandal has sparked outrage and raised questions about the vetting process for public figures. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has ordered an inquiry into Mandelson's contacts with Epstein and urged Andrew to testify before the US Congress.
