Sarah Ferguson is facing mounting pressure to testify to US officials about her links to the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The former Duchess of York has not been seen publicly for months as the scandal deepened over her and her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s friendship with the disgraced financier.

Now members of Congress have joined calls for the 66-year-old to give evidence under oath to the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating the handling of the late businessman’s prosecution. Committee member Suhas Subramanyam said he now believed she had “information related to the investigation”. “Sarah Ferguson should give sworn testimony to our committee,” he told the BBC.

There is no legal mechanism to compel Ms Ferguson to testify in the US, but the Democratic congressman said lawmakers would be “happy to work out terms that work for her”, provided she was under oath.

His calls were echoed by Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury, who urged anyone with information of wrongdoing by Epstein and his associates to cooperate to help ensure justice for victims.“If Ferguson or any member of their family has such information, our responsibility is to follow the facts wherever they lead,” she added.
