David Boies, a lawyer who represented victims of Jeffrey Epstein including the late Virginia Giuffre, has shared his thoughts on how Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should testify during the ongoing case, which has been exponentially escalating as more documents from the Epstein files have been released into the public domain.
Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, the 84-year-old explained that he believes the former prince has an "obligation" to share everything that he knows about the actions of the paedophile financier, and should be able to do so without a fear of arrest, following Hilary Clinton's comment that he must give evidence before a congressional committee.

Now, I also think that if he’s afraid of being arrested in the United States, we ought to give him safe passage to come to the United States to testify, because we don’t want there to be any excuse for him not coming and telling what he knows.
"But he knows a lot. How much I don’t know myself because they gave up in the litigation we had against them just before his deposition was supposed to be taken," he continued. "I don’t think anybody knows how much he knows, but we know he knows a lot from his contact, and whatever he knows, even if it was a little bit, he has an obligation to share that."
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's relationship with the royal family
As more information from the Epstein files has been released, the British royal family have been commenting on the ongoing investigation.
When Thames Valley Police confirmed that it was investigating allegations that Andrew had shared sensitive information acquired through his role as a UK trade envoy with the convicted paedophile, Buckingham Palace said that it would "stand ready to support" detectives if necessary, doubling down on the King's "profound concern".
A spokesman reiterated that the King and Queen's "thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse". Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Prince and Princess of Wales expressed that the couple were "deeply concerned by the continuing revelations" and that "their thoughts remain focused on the victims".
However, sources close to the family have gone even further, with one friend telling HELLO!: "Everyone knows William's feelings about his uncle. He's never had a close relationship with him."
