Logline: Britain's royal family is in crisis: Andrew's arrest, growing outrage over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and emails between a sex offender and the king's disgraced brother. With pressure mounting on the monarchy, can it survive this scandal?

Extended Logline:

The repercussions of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes are far-reaching, and with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest and the increasing outrage over the British royal family's ties to the sex offender through the king's disgraced brother, panic is growing inside the palace walls. This week, "IMPACT x Nightline" talks to close family members of Virginia Giuffre, Andrew's most prominent accuser, who share how Virginia's strength to come forward helped to bring down the former prince. Now, with Andrew's own words coming to light through the release of the Epstein email archives, pressure is mounting for the monarchy.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
