WASHINGTON/LONDON—U.S. prosecutors accused Britain’s Prince Andrew on Monday of evading their efforts to question him over his contacts with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, but lawyers for the prince accused them of seeking publicity rather than his help.

U.S. investigators want to interview Andrew, Queen Elizabeth’s second son, about his friendship with Epstein—who was awaiting trial on charges of trafficking minors when he died last August in a New York City federal prison—as part of their inquiry into possible co-conspirators.
