Prince Andrew vs. the feds: Can he be forced to talk about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell?

Families generally take care of their own, especially the British royal family; it's one of the reasons the Windsors have survived for so long.

This must be more obvious now to American federal prosecutors pressuring Prince Andrew, the shamed Duke of York, to help them with their investigation of two of his friends: the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, and Ghislaine Maxwell, the woman who's accused of helping Epstein recruit, groom and abuse girls.

How's it going so far? Not so good, although we don't know what might be happening between governments behind closed doors in both countries, which have long enjoyed a "special relationship" as allies.

But publicly things appear to be at a stalemate in the struggle between the son of a sovereign and the federal Southern District of New York, where Epstein died in jail last year and where Maxwell has just been locked up on sex-trafficking charges until a trial next year.
