Is the Andrew<\/a> formerly known as Prince still a royal? I suppose he must be. Mr Mountbatten-Windsor may have lost all his titles, but he\u2019s still eighth in line to the throne (though it would take a plotline as fiendish as Dennis Price\u2019s in black comedy Kind Hearts and Coronets to grant him the accession).<\/p>\n Watching Andrew is increasingly like watching a poker player holding what has become obvious to all is a losing hand. It\u2019s only a matter of time before he folds. And in Andrew\u2019s case, folding could mean just one thing – extradition to the United States.<\/a> Don\u2019t take my word for it. Respected writer and historian\u00a0 Andrew Lownie<\/a>, author of this year\u2019s meticulously researched best-seller The Fall of the House of York, is quietly certain of two things.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n One, that Andrew WILL be extradited to the US, and two, that he\u2019ll end up staying there longer than he\u2019d like – behind bars. If this comes to pass, it would make him the first member of the Royal Family<\/a> to be imprisoned since\u00a0Charles I in1649.<\/p>\n While other royals have occasionally found themselves in legal hot water, they\u2019ve resulted in fines,\u00a0driving bans, or out-of-court settlements, not imprisonment.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s Andrew\u2019s potential problem. At least one surviving victim of his ghastly friend, paedophile\u00a0 Jeffrey Epstein,<\/a> alleges that the former Duke had sex with trafficked young girls in addition to the late Virginia Guiffre.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n If the FBI decides there is a case to answer, they may seek to extradite Andrew to America. Britain of course has an extradition treaty with the US and Andrew, now a commoner like the rest of us, would have no special protection.<\/p>\n It came as no surprise to anyone that Thursday evening\u2019s deadline for Andrew to speak to a US\u00a0government committee about Epstein expired without a peep from the former prince.\u00a0<\/p>\n The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating Epstein\u2019s crimes and his wider sex trafficking network. Andrew was given until November 20 to respond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Legally he wasn\u2019t obliged to, but it\u2019s difficult to imagine why he would. Andrew\u2019s track record for interviews about Epstein is not exactly a glowing one – Newsnight was a car-crash – and his lawyers must have been concerned that he might incriminate himself.<\/p>\n But now that President Trump has authorised the US Justice Department to release everything it\u2019s got on Epstein – thousands of unredacted emails, documents and photos – all bets are off.\u00a0<\/p>\n What more will we learn about Andrew, Epstein and those trafficked girls? Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor vehemently denies all and any wrongdoing. At some point, he may find himself having to do that, in person, in front of \u2018the feds\u2019.
