Lawyers in the US are following "all legal trails" pointing to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Emily Maitlis has said.
Speaking to HELLO! during Wednesday's Power List at Mazarine, Mayfair, the journalist and broadcaster discussed the former Prince's legal action against Thames Valley Police over his arrest in February.
She said: "I was in the US recently and I had very clear indications that Virginia [Giuffre] was not the only one who was pointing the finger at Andrew Mountbatten Windsor."

Emily, who famously interviewed Andrew for BBC Newsnight in 2019 before he stepped down from royal duties, said she hopes the latest developments will uncover "where the real abuse of power is", after police search warrants were found to be unlawful.
The Newsagents host continued: "It is fine if he wants to take the Thames (Valley) police to court, if it is fine if he thinks that there was, you know, an abuse of power in the way that they carried out their search of his home, but I think that we should concentrate on where the real abuse of power is and we should say, 'I don’t think this is the end of the story'."
Emily is currently working on a film with Channel 4, due out in December, alongside a narrative podcast for Global Studios about Epstein's ties to Britain.
Andrew's calls to testify in the US
King Charles's younger brother has faced calls to give evidence under oath in front of Congress about his links to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Emily said on Wednesday: "I really hope that the systems, whether it’s the Met Police, whether it’s the courts of the law, whether it’s Congress in the US, whether it’s the administration in the US, actually realise that there is injustice here and they mustn't give up."
After Andrew was arrested in February, Democrat congressman Suhas Subramanyam, of the US House Oversight Committee, warned that "there will be accountability even if you hide, regardless of how rich and powerful you are", as he called upon the late Queen's son to testify.

Suhas, alongside fellow democrat congressman Robert Garcia, previously accused Andrew of hiding after he failed to respond to a letter calling for him to answer questions about the Epstein scandal.
As he is a non-US citizen, Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, are not compelled to appear before Congress.

In April, Suhas also wrote the former Duchess a letter, directly applying pressure to testify.
It read: "As the Committee seeks justice for the survivors of Mr Epstein’s criminal enterprise, and transparency for the American public, I respectfully request your cooperation with the Committee’s investigation."
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.
What happened in Emily Maitlis's interview with Andrew?
Backlash to Emily's interview with Andrew in 2019 ultimately led to the former Prince stepping down from royal duties.
During the 58-minute broadcast, Andrew claimed that he and Epstein were not "very good friends" despite staying at several of the financier's properties and his private island.
Andrew, 66, was also questioned about Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's accusers, but said he had "no recollection" of ever meeting her.
He denied ever spending an evening with a then-underage Virginia Giuffre at a London nightclub, declaring that on the date in question, he was at home with his daughter, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie after going to "Pizza Express in Woking".
In response to Emily Maitlis probing him about Virginia's claim he'd been "profusely sweating", Andrew responded: "There's a slight problem with the sweating because I have a peculiar medical condition, which is that I don't sweat or I didn't sweat at the time."
The infamous interview was later broadcast in the Netflix biographical drama, Scoop, in 2024.
Andrew kept his "prince" and "Duke of York" titles until October 2025, when King Charles stripped him of his remaining honours.
