DISGRACED Prince Andrew is said to be too scared to visit the US again amid fresh calls for an FBI probe into the scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.
Andy, 64, has only left the UK once in almost six years.
The Duke of York fears he may be arrested after revelations in court documents prompted calls for a new criminal investigation.
President Donald Trump’s pick to be FBI director has vowed to “do everything” to expose accomplices of late paedophile Epstein.
And a lawyer for victims says the UK government should “turn him [Andrew] over” for questioning.
A pal of the Prince said: “He is terrified if he goes to America he could be arrested, face civil action or be subpoenaed.
“He used to be Air Miles Andy but he will never risk going to America again.
“Since the whole thing blew up he has only been to Bahrain where he has friends. There hasn’t been a single trip to play golf in Spain or a holiday abroad.”
Spencer Kuvin, US lawyer for many of Epstein’s victims, said: “The British monarchy should be embarrassed and he should be fully separated from the monarchy and the public should never be subsiding someone who has either such bad judgment to be friends with this man or could have been involved with him.
“The President should require his new FBI director to fully investigate Andrew’s conduct.
“The government should turn him over for that and demand he volunteer himself to be a part of it. The King should do that,
“Andrew should be held accountable by the monarchy.”
In 2020, the FBI asked the Home Office for help to quiz Andrew.
That investigation was paused last year.
Last week High Court files revealed Andy emailed Epstein in February 2011 saying “we’ll play some more soon”.
In his BBC Newsnight interview Andrew said he ceased contact with Epstein in December 2010 after they were pictured in New York.
Mr Kuvin said: “Victims have always wanted everyone involved in the Epstein circle to be fully prosecuted. That includes any powerful person . . . involved.”

A DANCING on Ice star has sparked reunion rumours with his soap star ex – two months after their split.
Former professional boxer Ricky Hatton, 46, participated in the ITV ice skating show last year.

The pair knew each other for decades becoming romantically involved[/caption]
He struck up a romance with Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney, 53, – a fellow contestant – but they later split up.
Two months on, Ricky sparked reunion speculation via Instagram after posting a glam picture of himself and Claire.
It saw radio presenter Peter Price join them in the social media snap.
Ricky captioned his throwback shot: “Happy birthday @petecityprice. Hope you have the best day my mate. Love Ricky.”
One of the star’s followers commented: “Old pic, shame they’ve split up.”
Another wrote: “Great photo of the three of you x”.
A third penned: “Blimey Claire! Should be criminal to look that good!”
While a fourth queried: “They back together?”
Ricky competed as a boxer from 1997 to 2012, during which time he held multiple world championships in the light-welteweight division.
Meanwhile, Claire currently plays Cassie Plummer in Coronation Street, but viewers may also recognise her from Brookside and The Good Ship Murder.
They had been friends for 25 years before things became romantic following Dancing on Ice.
In December 2024, the MailOnline reported the pair had gone their separate ways after eight months.
A source told the publication: “Claire and Ricky remain good friends, there has been no fallout between them.
“They decided they’re better off as pals and are no longer romantically together.”
Continuing, the insider said the couple’s different lifestyles ultimately came between them, despite a lot of shared interests.
Ricky Hatton's biggest boxing wins
Ricky Hatton tasted defeat just three times in an illustrious 46 fight career that saw him earn an estimated £37million in prize money. Here are some of his most memorable victories:
Tommy Peacock by TKO – In his 11th fight as a professional Ricky won his first title – the vacant Central Area light-welterweight belt – at Oldham Sports Centre
Jon Thaxton on points – Ricky picked up national honours when he defeated Thaxton for the vacant British light-welterweight strap at Wembley Conference Centre in 2000
Kostya Tsyzu retired – In front of a rapturous home crowd inside Manchester’s MEN Arena, Ricky became a world champion for the first time. He won the IBF and The Ring light-welterweight titles against the former undisputed champ Tsyzu
Luis Collazo unanimous decision – Just three fights later Ricky added to his title collection, claiming the WBA light-welterweight title stateside by beating tough Collazo over 12 rounds
Paulie Malignaggi TKO – Ricky’s final boxing victory came against loud-mouthed American-Italian fighter Malignaggi in Las Vegas. The Hitman let his fists do the talking and stopped his foe in the 11th round. He earned a cool $2.5million for his night’s work.
Six months later Ricky would taste defeat for a second time, the first being against Floyd Mayweather in 2007, against Phillippino superstar Manny Pacquiao. He suffered a brutal second round knockout and was taken to hospital for a precautionary brain scan
They added: “While Claire is one of the biggest stars on Coronation Street and is very career-gliding, Ricky’s more freewheeling and unpredictable.”
The source added that Ricky was already planning to head off to Tenerife “where he feels more at home”, while Claire was focusing on her work and being consoled by her celeb pals and Coronation Street cast mates.
Before dating Claire, Ricky had been in a relationship with beautician Angela Blemmings.
Meanwhile, Claire had been single since her split from ex-Daniel Reilly in 2017.

THIERRY HENRY has expressed sympathy for Pep Guardiola after the Manchester City boss split from his wife.
Things have gone wrong for Guardiola on and off the pitch this season, with the 5-1 drubbing against Arsenal the latest low for his misfiring side.

City scraped through the Champions League and are at risk of failing to finish in the top four after winning just four of their last ten Prem games.
Meanwhile Guardiola, 54, split from his partner of 36 years Cristina Serra last month, which has coincided with the dip in form.
Henry, who played for Guardiola at Barcelona, expressed sympathy for his former boss after the Arsenal defeat.
He said on Sky Sports: “Do I feel sorry about what’s happening to Man City and Pep? Yeah I do, in one thing.
“It’s not easy to deal with what Pep has to deal with outside of football. I went through that when I went to Barcelona. It’s not easy to deal with stuff like that, when you’re not well mentally.
“You can see that he’s not his usual self. I had to deal with it when I went to Barcelona, I can tell you it’s not easy. No one would like to deal with that while you have to perform all the time. So I think we can understand.
“Now if you go back on the field, it’s not good enough. I don’t think that they can cope whenever a team can deal with playing them all the way to ninety minutes and challenge them and look them in their eyes all the way.”
Henry, 47, split from his ex-wife Claire Merry in 2007 after four years of marriage.

Merry reportedly demanded a £10million settlement during the divorce.
Henry announced he was leaving Merry just before his transfer to Barcelona – she was said to be unhappy about the move and apparently was devastated when Henry walked out on their marriage.
Guardiola met Cristina when he was just 18-years-old and they have three children together – Maria, 24, Marius 22, and Valentina, 17.

HEARTBREAKING tributes have been left after a 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death at a school with another teen arrested on suspicion of murder.
Harvey Willgoose was named locally as the teen knifed at All Saints Catholic High School, in Sheffield, at around 12.17pm earlier today.

Harvey was reportedly stabbed three times by another student as he made his way to lessons as horrified pupils watching on.
Cops swarmed on the school as youngsters were plunged into lockdown – before a 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder.
Teachers raced to perform emergency first aid as an air ambulance landed.
Harvey was taken to hospital in a serious condition but he sadly died soon after arriving.
Floral tributes and notes from devastated friends have now been laid at the scene after the horror stabbing.
Flowers, balloons, an England flag and a card were this evening left at the school gates in tribute to Harvey.
A card left at the scene read: “My deepest condolences go out to you all.
“Henny was the life of a party and brought joy and laughter to everyone who knew him.
“Henny made you laugh and his bubbly personality was contagious.
“You could always hear him from down a corridor and you’d always know that’s Henny.
“I’ll never forget all the moments, all the laughs. You’ll be missed by so many.
“Fly high you beautiful boy. Forever 15.”
Both teenagers are understood to be students at the school – which is currently closed.
The arrested teen remains in custody and is being quizzed by specially trained officers on suspicion of murder.

South Yorkshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Lindsey Butterfield said the boy suffered “serious injuries” and died a short time later.
Speaking outside the force’s headquarters, she said: “It is with great sadness that I share with you today, a teenager has died following the stabbing at a Sheffield school earlier today, our thoughts are with the family of the boy, his friends and the whole school community.
“At 12.17pm, emergency services were called to All Saints Catholic High School on Granville Road.
“The victim, a 15-year-old boy, suffered serious injuries and despite the best efforts of the ambulance service, he sadly died a short time later.
“A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in our custody at this time.”
Headteacher Sean Pender said in an earlier message to parents: “I am writing to inform you that today we have dealt with an extremely serious incident here in school resulting in us going in to a lockdown procedure.
“The incident involved two students, one of whom we believe has been seriously injured. All other students are contained and safe.
“The police and paramedics are present in school. Once the police allow us to, we will be releasing all students from school.
“I understand the level of anxiety you will be feeling without knowledge of the nature of the incident but at this time I have limited information to share with you whilst we have police and paramedics on site.
“I will endeavour to update you with as much information as possible at the earliest opportunity.
“We ask for your prayers and support at this time.”
One teen claimed that the boy was “stabbed three times”.
The Sun have contacted the school for comment.
Sir Keir Starmer was asked by the media about the death of the 15-year-old as he arrived for a dinner with EU leaders in Brussels.
The Prime Minister said: “The terrible stabbing in Sheffield is one where I think the whole country would want to reach out to the family, the friends, to the school, the entire community, in their grief and mourn with them.
“Obviously there will be an investigation, but I think at this point I simply speak for the country, to the individuals affected, to the family in particular, but everybody impacted by this awful situation – a young boy has gone to school and hasn’t returned home.
“And so my first thoughts as Prime Minister and as a father are with the family.”
Sheffield Heeley MP Louise Haigh said earlier today that a “serious question will have to be answered” after the fatal stabbing.
The Labour MP added: “Horrific news that the young pupil from All Saints High School has died.
“All my thoughts are with his family and friends, and the entire community at All Saints.
“A teenager is in custody and South Yorkshire Police have assured parents that there is no ongoing risk at the school.
“A criminal investigation will now obviously take place, but serious questions will have to be answered about how this could have happened and I will be working with the school, the police and the council to make sure they are.”
