The Stunning Arrest of the former Prince Andrew
For the first time in centuries, a senior royal — still in the line of succession — has been arrested by British authorities, accused of misconduct in public office linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
The arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, Duke of York, on allegations of misconduct in public office linked to the Epstein matter is breathtaking.
After the statement Buckingham Palace released the other day — in which the King expressed “profound concern” over the allegations tied to Jeffrey Epstein, emphasized sympathy for victims, and said the Palace would “stand ready to support” Thames Valley Police should they seek cooperation — I knew it was possible.
But I still wasn’t sure it would actually happen.
A senior member of the British royal family has not been arrested by British authorities in hundreds of years.
That law enforcement officers went onto Sandringham — the royal family’s private estate — on his 66th birthday to carry this out is stunning.
That Mountbatten-Windsor’s electronics and files are currently being searched while he is being held in custody is hard to wrap my head around.
It is difficult to overstate how extraordinary this moment is.
We are talking about a man who, despite losing his royal titles and styles amid the fallout from his association with Jeffrey Epstein, remains eighth in line to the British throne.
He is also the father of two members of the royal family who are ninth and tenth in the line of succession.
This is a remarkable moment in British constitutional history — and it is obviously also welcome and overdue.
For those who may not be aware, this investigation and his arrest today are not directly related to allegations of sexual violence.
The allegation is that Mountbatten-Windsor shared confidential UK government material with Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a UK trade envoy — specifically sensitive trip/travel reports and related briefings from official overseas visits.
Statement by The King:
“I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.
What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.
In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.
Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.
As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.”

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has announced that he never met Andrew, and doesn't know who he is, but Howard Lutnick says that he's from a fine traditional German family and is being persecuted by woke Democrats.
Trump goes on to say that he will issue a pardon to Andrew, and send a SEAL team to bust him out of jail, in exchange for a brand-new 777 Dreamliner and 500 million dollars in cryptocurrency.
You read it here first, folks. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
