Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor begins ‘long overdue fightback’ after court victory

From the Newshound archive · first published 10 October 2026.

Jeffrey Epstein survivors have publicly backed Thames Valley Police's criminal investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, declaring that "no one is above the law" — hours after his legal team was served with a witness summons to give evidence in a separate £40 million civil fraud trial at the High Court. Signatories include members of the Survivor Sisters group, of which Virginia Giuffre was a part, and they said they look forward to visiting the UK to meet Prime Minister Andy Burnham. A preliminary timetable for the fraud trial has pencilled in four potential dates for Andrew's testimony.

Turk's defence team believes the 66-year-old "will be able to provide important evidence" supporting their client against Turkish millionaire Nebahat Evyap Isbilen's fraud claim.

The survivors' letter condemned decades of powerful men hiding "behind wealth, influence, silence, and delay" while victims "carried the trauma alone."

Andrew is simultaneously fighting a High Court battle over whether evidence seized in raids on his homes — using warrants Thames Valley Police have since admitted were unlawful — can be used against him.
