Andrew ordered to appear at Congress to explain links to Epstein Democratics in the House Oversight Committee sent the disgraced royal a letter on Thursday saying they believe he possesses important information about people with links to Epstein's crimes.

When the then Princess Elizabeth married Prince Philip here in the Abbey in 1947, the country was in the grip of post-war austerity. In a sign of the straitened times, the kneelers used by the bride and groom were made from orange boxes covered with rose damask.
