Lownie also turned his attention to Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson, alleging she played a role in introducing Epstein into royal circles.

“She gave Epstein the sort of entrée into Andrew and into the royal family,” he said.

“Sarah Ferguson is a material witness to the sex trafficking, to what was going on in Epstien’s homes; she was certainly a regular visitor there, and she should certainly be testifying to the Senate.

“But there’s also HMRC- Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs- they should be looking at her. The Companies Act-I think she broke the charitable laws while running her charities,” he alleged.

“So I think she’s definitely worth investigating as well, and she should certainly be questioned about the misconduct in public office, as should his (Andrew’s) daughters who accompanied him on many of these trips and used these trips to get contacts which they are now exploiting themselves.”

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
