Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) on Thursday warned that the now-former Prince Andrew, whom King Charles III stripped of his remaining royal titles, would face justice.
Andrew, the king’s younger brother who will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, lost his titles over his ties to convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein.
“Thanks to the courageous survivors of Epstein’s abuse, justice is coming to Andrew,” Khanna posted on the social media site X. “If you abused children alongside Epstein, you will face justice. That is what [Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.)] and I are fighting for. We will not rest.”
Khanna shared the press release issued by Buckingham Palace, which stated that he will move from his Windsor estate Royal Lodge residence into “private accommodation.”
“These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegation against him,” the statement continued. “Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain, with the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) also shared the statement on X, calling it a “victory for victims.”
However, it appears that rich and powerful men in the United States have immunities and privileges exceeding those of Royalty in Britain,” Massie wrote. “[House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)] is avoiding a vote on releasing Epstein files by keeping the House in recess. It’s not a hoax.”
Khanna and Massie filed a discharge petition in September for a bill that would require the Justice Department to publicly disclose files and information related to Epstein.
Among those who said they would sign the petition is Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.). Despite winning a special election to succeed her father in the House of Representatives, Johnson has yet to swear her into office.
Grijalva’s signature would be the 218th signature needed for the discharge petition to go into effect.
Grijalva’s endorsement will force a House floor vote on the proposal over the objections of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other GOP leaders, who are siding with President Trump in opposition to the bill.
Massie, a frequent critic of President Trump, has accused other Republicans of protecting pedophiles to prevent any embarrassing revelations from seeing the light of day.
“I do believe that Trump is not implicated,” Massie said last month. “[But] I believe that Trump is trying to protect rich and powerful people who are his friends, and that is why this material is not getting released.”
