Ro Khanna Warns Epstein Files Could End Britain’s Monarchy as Palace Faces New Heat
Rep. Ro Khanna is warning that the latest Epstein-file disclosures are no longer just a scandal story, but a legitimacy crisis for Britain’s monarchy and political establishment. His comments are landing as UK authorities and U.S. investigators pursue fresh lines tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s network.
The stakes are rising because the renewed focus is not only on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s past ties, but on whether official conduct and state institutions were implicated, with public pressure building for direct answers from the Palace and Downing Street.
Thames Valley Police confirmed it is assessing claims that Andrew shared confidential reports from his role as a government trade envoy with Epstein, including trip materials tied to Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam in 2010–2011.
At the same time, reporting on the UK’s political fallout has highlighted turmoil around Peter Mandelson and leadership pressure in London, widening the story beyond the royal family into government stability questions.

“They ought to ask the King and Queen questions and maybe this will be the end of the monarchy,” Khanna said, according to published coverage of his remarks.
Why it matters now is the convergence: a police assessment in the UK, a political crisis storyline in Westminster, and an active U.S. oversight track that continues to generate headlines and demands for transparency.
In Washington, Khanna also told Oversight Chair James Comer that Ghislaine Maxwell intended to invoke the Fifth Amendment and decline substantive answers at a deposition, limiting what lawmakers can confirm quickly.
With more document scrutiny, police decisions, and congressional moves expected, the next phase will likely hinge on whether authorities produce actionable findings beyond public condemnation.
