Call to Prosecute Prince Andrew for Potential Crimes in the US

Congresswoman Nancy Mace has voiced her support for criminal charges against Prince Andrew, suggesting he should be handcuffed and detained. Her remarks came shortly after she left a closed-door meeting with victims of Jeffrey Epstein, where she appeared visibly distressed.

On social media, Mace stated, “Now is the appropriate moment to consider prosecuting Prince Andrew for any crimes committed on US territory. A stern message—Prince Andrew in handcuffs—would send the right signal.”

Prince Andrew has long faced allegations from Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most notable accusers, who claimed the royal sexually abused her when she was 17. Although he settled a civil lawsuit with Giuffre in 2022 and has denied all allegations, the accusations continue to cast a shadow over his reputation.

Mace emphasized that pursuing legal action against him is a necessary step following the release of certain sensitive files, which she advocates for. She added, “Let’s focus on prosecuting predators next, so victims, survivors, and the nation can begin to heal.”

Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025, had accused Prince Andrew of sexual misconduct. Her death has intensified efforts to shed light on Epstein’s case and those involved.

Mace, who has also been a proponent of releasing the so-called “Epstein files,” recently made headlines after leaving a meeting with Epstein’s victims. She recounted experiencing a panic attack during the session, describing symptoms such as sweating, hyperventilating, and trembling, after hearing their harrowing stories.

She expressed empathy for victims, stating, “As a recent survivor myself, I found it difficult to listen. I can’t breathe. I understand the pain victims endure, and I pray for all survivors to find healing.”
