U.S. sought to interview Prince Andrew in 2020 over ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Canadian sex offender Peter Nygard, who is appealing his 11-year sentence.

U.S. authorities sought to interview former Prince Andrew in 2020 as part of an investigation into Canadian sex offender Peter Nygard, citing links to Jeffrey Epstein and a reported visit to Nygard’s Bahamas estate. The FBI and U.S. Attorney’s office requested UK cooperation, stating Andrew was not a target and had no known criminal conduct, but wanted information on his associations, travel, and contacts. Nygard, convicted in Canada on four sexual assault charges and sentenced to 11 years, plans to appeal. Additional charges in Winnipeg were stayed after police destroyed key 1993 records. King Charles stripped Andrew of his royal titles in November amid ongoing scrutiny of his ties to Epstein.
