Prince Harry's uncle Andrew's American dream dashed?

Prince Harry's uncle Andrew has triggered a new debate with his reluctance to appear before the US lawmakers amid his downfall, scandals and controversies. 

Andrew is said to be afraid of travelling to America as he knows the move will bring further damage to him and the royal family's reputation as pressure intensifies for him to cooperate with a congressional inquiry over strong connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

King Charles III might also not be willing to send his younger brother to America to face inquiry as the move will drag the monarch's name in  headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Prince Harry, who's been busy in building links with the US elites since his and Meghan Markle's departure from the UK in 2020, does not want his uncle to travel to America even if he knows his support to him could potentially turn the former Duke of York into a royal victim following his fall from the grace.

However, Meghan may have different thoughts about him as it's sure Harry's support may spark heated debate and bring them to the spotlight.

On the other hand, Fergie's ex-husband has formerly been asked to sit for a transcribed interview with the House oversight committee as part of its examination of Epstein's dealings and the government's handling of the case.

A letter signed by 16 members of Congress set a deadline of this Thursday for him to respond, escalating a standoff that has brought renewed scrutiny to Windsor's past and his movements.

One of the Democratic members of the committee, Suhas Subramanyam, says Andrew "has been hiding from us."

The request to question Andrew followed the identification of "financial records containing notations such as 'massage for Andrew' that raise serious questions," alongside wider concerns over what he knew about Epstein's activities.

Windsor denies all wrongdoing and maintains he never witnessed or participated in any criminal conduct. Still, several congressional aides say they believe there is "zero chance" of he voluntarily entering the United States again.

One said: "He knows Congress can't subpoena him abroad, so staying away is his only shield."

Another claimed: "There's a feeling he will die without ever stepping foot back in America. That's how deep Andrew's fear of facing questioning in America appears to run."
