NEW YORK – Ghislaine Maxwell could reveal the “dramatic truth” about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor when she testifies before Congress on Monday, a lawyer who represented his accuser has claimed.
In an interview with The i Paper, Sigrid McCawley said that Jeffrey Epstein’s former madam has key information the former duke of York “does not want disclosed”, when she appears on Capitol Hill via video link from prison.
McCawley, who represented Mountbatten-Windsor’s late accuser Virginia Giuffre as well as other Epstein victims, said the US and UK had “failed in their investigations into Andrew” and should launch a criminal investigation into the former prince.
The New York lawyer, one of the most high-profile attorneys in the US, said that Maxwell was “one of the most central figures in Epstein’s sex trafficking operation” and that the 64-year-old “definitely has information she should be disclosing about Andew and his interactions with Epstein”.
“Maxwell and Andrew were very close friends for many years,” added McCawley, who helped bring down Epstein and Maxwell’s sex trafficking ring. “She’s someone who can disclose information he would not want disclosed and she is one of two people – the other who is dead – who could tell the real truth.
“If she did so the effect on Andrew would be dramatic. To have somebody who was there with him for many of these interactions with Virginia Giuffre, speaking truthfully, would be significant.” Mountbatten-Windsor has denied ever having met Giuffre.

She interviewed Maxwell during a defamation case brought against the former British socialite by Giuffre in 2016.
Now a managing partner at law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, McCawley said that Maxwell refused to even shake her hand when she came into her office in Manhattan.
“The thing that struck me was her air of entitlement,” said McCawley, 53. “She was very aloof and couldn’t be bothered with being at the deposition.
“’How dare you drag me in here, do you know who I am’ – that was the atmosphere.”

McCawley said: “It became clear to me that there were certain things that were agitating her and one was when I would look down at my work and not directly at her. The more I did that the more she became agitated, like an adult temper tantrum. She slammed her first on the table so hard it caused the court reporter’s equipment to fall over.
“The court reporter looked at me and said, ‘I’m so scared.’ It was like nothing I’d ever experienced.”
In October 2020, McCawley won a lawsuit to unseal the deposition transcripts from the settled defamation lawsuit against Maxwell, which led to criminal charges being filed against her.
While Maxwell’s deposition on Monday will take place behind closed doors, the transcript is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
McCawley said that the release of three million documents related to Epstein by the US Department of Justice was a “reckoning”. This reporter appears in those files in emails as far back as 2011, making inquiries to Epstein’s lawyers about his relationship with Peter Mandelson. The then-prince was also already under fire at the time over his friendship with the late financier.

“We are calling to task people who were providing Epstein with help to facilitate this decades-long sex trafficking operation … I’m hopeful that additional people will be held to account.”
The release of the Epstein files has put new scrutiny on Andrew as they have included disturbing photos of him leaning over a person who appears to be a young woman, but whose head and face have been redacted.
Thames Valley Police are currently investigating a claim that Mountbatten-Windsor had sex with an Epstein victim at Royal Lodge, his then residence, in 2010. He denies all the allegations.
Boies Schiller Flexner began representing Giuffre in 2014, and McCawley was assigned the case following her experience working with victims of abuse and children in foster care. She has represented 10 Epstein victims.
McCawley filed a civil sex assault case against Mountbatten-Windsor on Giuffre’s behalf in which he was scheduled to be deposed in March 2022, before he reached a settlement of an undisclosed amount without an admission of liability. He has always denied the allegations.
Giuffre, who claimed she was forced to have sex with him three times in 2001 when she was 17, died by suicide in April 2025.
After Epstein’s arrest in 2019, prosecutors in New York tried to interview Mountbatten-Windsor but negotiations fell apart when the former duke declined to sit for an interview.
Last year, the Metropolitan Police looked at reports that Mountbatten-Windsor asked his personal protection officer to dig up dirt on Giuffre, but no action was taken.
McCawley’s advice to Congress when questioning Maxwell, who will be under oath, is that they have to ask “really hard questions”.
“They need to be asking about the people she witnessed, following the money trail, about the hundreds and hundreds of girls brought to Epstein.”
Epstein hanged himself in 2019 after his arrest on sex trafficking charges, while Maxwell’s trial in 2021 resulted in her conviction.
McCawley said she feared Maxwell would refuse to answer any difficult question to avoid being charged with lying to Congress. “She’s a monster so she won’t be motivated to do anything that’s not in her self-interest,” McCawley said.

Brad Edwards, a Florida lawyer who represents more than 200 Epstein survivors, last week told the Daily Mail that he may sue Mountbatten-Windsor in a US court on behalf of a client who claims she was trafficked by Epstein to her for sex in 2010. The former prince has always denied any wrongdoing.
“Both the US and London have failed in their investigations into Andrew,” McCawley said. “There have been a lot of starts and stops and claims but there hasn’t been a full investigation and he’s not agreed to participate in any disclosure, which we’re hearing calls for now.
“Clearly that should happen.”
