Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna<\/a> (Calif.) said the British royal family<\/a> should compensate victims of convicted sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein <\/a>after <\/strong>the release of documents related to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Royal Family should be ashamed and horrified. They should be compensating each of the working class girls who were victims of the Epstein class,\u201d Khanna told U.K news outlet The I Paper. <\/p>\n

The Department of Justice has released thousands of files connected to Epstein\u2019s case following the passing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a law spearheaded by Khanna and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie <\/a>(Ky.).<\/p>\n

Among the files were emails and photographs that have drawn scrutiny to the royal family, including an image showing Mountbatten-Windsor lying on the laps of women alongside Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The DOJ also released an email<\/a> sent to Maxwell in August 2001 from an unidentified sender who said they were \u201cup here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family<\/a>,\u201d a probable reference to Balmoral Castle<\/a> in Scotland. The sender asked Maxwell, \u201cHave you found me some new inappropriate friends?\u201d and signed off \u201cA xxx.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reporting by the BBC linked the email address to another address listed in Epstein\u2019s phone book as the \u201cDuke of York,\u201d Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s former title. He has not publicly commented on the email. Buckingham Palace announced in October<\/a> that it was stripping him of all royal titles in light of allegations about ties to Epstein.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Khanna\u2019s suggestion. <\/p>\n

The latest batches of Epstein\u2019s case files appear to support claims made in a lawsuit filed by the sex abuser\u2019s most prominent accuser, the late Virginia Giuffre, against Mountbatten-Windsor in 2021. At the time, Giuffre accused the former prince of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, but the two reached an out-of-court settlement<\/a>.<\/p>\n
