The proposed questions, revealed for the first time, include details of all contact and visits with Epstein and Maxwell and any of their agents.
Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was to be asked about “the involvement of Maxwell and/or any associate of Maxwell’s in recruiting, enticing, transporting or trafficking minors for the purpose of engaging in unlawful sexual contact” and whether he had seen any under 18s at any of Epstein’s properties.
US prosecutors were also keen to know if he had seen “any attempts to destroy evidence, obstruct or impede ongoing investigations”.
The request confirmed that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was “not presently a target” of either investigation and that they had “not, to date, gathered evidence that he has committed any crime under U.S. law.”
It is understood that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was never interviewed as part of either investigation.
“With regard to the interview, U.S. authorities request to conduct a voluntary interview of Prince Andrew and request the assistance of UK authorities in arranging for such an interview,” the 22-page letter sent in April 2020 states.
“In the event that the witness declines to participate in a voluntary interview, U.S. authorities request that UK authorities conduct a compelled interview of the witness under oath.”
