King Charles ‘would very much like’ his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before the US Congress, a close friend of the monarch has claimed.
Historian and broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby suggested His Majesty wants his brother to help with investigations into convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
‘I would strongly believe, I can’t say with 100 per cent certainty, but I strongly believe that he would very much like him to stand up and testify, but knows to stand up and say that is a hiding to nothing,’ Dimbleby told BBC Newsnight.
Dimbleby, who has been a close friend of the King for more than 30 years and even wrote his biography, went on to suggest that Charles is appalled by the allegations involving Andrew.
‘It would be astonishing if he wasn’t concerned, appalled by the allegations and of course affected in his role as monarch as well, because the headlines are all about this, which, you know, no institution wants that, and he is trying to do and is doing an extraordinary job in his role as head of state.’
His remarks come as pressure continues to mount on Andrew, whose name appeared in the newly released Epstein files.
It was revealed yesterday that police were being urged to launch a sex trafficking probe into Andrew amid claims a woman was flown in one of Epstein’s private jets and smuggled into Buckingham Palace using the codename Mrs Windsor.
The paedophile’s Boeing 727–100 private jet, which he used to host orgies and traffic girls, landed around 90 times in the UK – including after his conviction for child sex offences in 2008, the Epstein Files reveal.

Stansted, Britain’s fourth busiest airport, was allegedly used as a hub to transfer victims from one Epstein plane to another.
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called it ‘by far the biggest scandal of all’ and urged Scotland Yard to begin a criminal investigation into the former Duke of York beyond misconduct in public office and breach of the Official Secrets Act.
‘The Stansted revelations alone require them to interview Andrew. I have been told privately that the investigations related to the former Prince Andrew did not properly check vital evidence of flights’, he said.
Yesterday it was claimed that at least one Epstein victim was flown into Britain on board and then taken to Andrew at Buckingham Palace.
The disgraced former Duke of York allegedly told aides: ‘Mrs Windsor will arrive shortly, please let her in and show her up’.
Sources have claimed that other women would be whisked in to see him at his late mother and father’s London home using the same coded requests and with no security clearance.
Andrew has been linked to four women in the Epstein Files, along with Virginia Giuffre.
The Mail on Sunday revealed this week how Epstein took a young Romanian model to a private dinner at Buckingham Palace with his friend Andrew. Epstein said the royal thought she was ‘beautiful’, adding: ‘No man looks at your clothes, they see through them.’

Andrew also invited Jeffrey Epstein and an ‘enchanting’ Russian model named Vera to dinner at Buckingham Palace during a trip to London.
Epstein also offered to introduce him to a 26-year-old Russian woman known as ‘Irina’ in August 2010.
The Epstein Files have laid bare just how many times the paedophile financier’s private jet landed in the UK.
Flight logs show it landed at Stansted and Heathrow as well as quieter, lesser-known airports across the south of England.
