US Congressman Warns Epstein Files Could Topple British Monarchy
In a stark warning that has sent shockwaves through political circles, US Congressman Ro Khanna has declared that the Jeffrey Epstein scandal could potentially lead to the collapse of the British monarchy. Khanna described this as the "most vulnerable" the monarchy has ever been in its long history, emphasizing that the fallout from the Epstein files extends far beyond individual disgraces to threaten the entire British establishment.
Direct Challenge to Royal Accountability
Congressman Khanna specifically called on King Charles III to publicly reveal what he knew about Prince Andrew's connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Democrat lawmaker argued that merely stripping titles, as was done with Prince Andrew, constitutes insufficient accountability for such serious allegations.
"If you have allegations of raping a young girl, I don't think the appropriate punishment is that you no longer get to be Prince. There's got to be more than that," Khanna stated emphatically during his remarks.
Epstein Files Reveal Elite Impunity
The Congressman pointed to specific figures mentioned in the Epstein documents, including Prince Andrew and former Labour politician Peter Mandelson, as evidence of what he termed "elite impunity." Khanna highlighted particularly troubling allegations about Mandelson, who served as Britain's ambassador to the United States before his Epstein connections forced his removal.
"The allegations are very serious that he was working for Gordon Brown and then feeding information about UK possibly buying Euros and having Epstein trade on them. I mean, it is deeply, deeply troubling," Khanna explained, referencing newly released documents that suggest Mandelson maintained contact with Epstein while serving as business secretary and allegedly shared confidential information.
Political Crisis Engulfs UK Government
The release of over three million pages of documents, images, and videos by the US Department of Justice has triggered a political and institutional reckoning across Europe, with the most dramatic fallout occurring in the United Kingdom. The controversy has engulfed the government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer less than a year after Labour returned to power with a landslide victory.
The crisis stems from Starmer's decision to appoint veteran Labour figure Peter Mandelson as Britain's ambassador to the United States despite his known association with Epstein. Following the document release, UK police launched a criminal investigation into allegations that Mandelson shared confidential information with Epstein, leading to Mandelson's removal from his diplomatic post and his resignation from both the House of Lords and the Labour Party.
Monarchial Vulnerability at Historic High
Khanna emphasized that the Epstein scandal represents an unprecedented threat to the British monarchy's stability. "This club, and by the way, I think this is the most vulnerable the British monarchy has ever been. I heard they were asking Queen questions about Epstein. They ought to ask King and Queen questions. Maybe this will be the end of the monarchy," he added, suggesting that royal accountability must extend beyond symbolic gestures to substantive transparency and justice.
The Congressman's comments reflect growing international scrutiny of how British institutions are handling the Epstein fallout, with particular focus on whether elite connections have shielded individuals from proper accountability. As the documents continue to reveal connections between powerful figures and Epstein's criminal network, pressure mounts on both the monarchy and government to demonstrate genuine reform rather than mere damage control.
