Former Prince Andrew arrested

The BBC reports:

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The last member of the Royal Family to be arrested was King Charles 1 in 1647 – 379 years ago.

King Charles III said the “law must take its course” in response to Andrew’s arrest and that the police had his “full and wholehearted support and co-operation”.

Have to feel for the King. Andrew is his brother. However it also shows how right he was to make him renounce his titles.

Police had previously said they were considering investigating Andrew over allegations relating to his association with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and were reviewing allegations he shared confidential material.

If Andrew has been arrested for sharing confidential materials with Jeffery Epstein, then surely Peter Mandelson’s arrest can’t be far off.
