The fall from grace for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, former prince and younger brother of King Charles III, has been years in the process caused by his shocking links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Disgraced and dislodged from his royal ties and family last year, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his 66th birthday on Thursday – unprecedented in Britain’s modern era but a new blow for the man, who served as a British trade envoy for a decade from 2001.
Andrew’s arrest by Thames Valley police from the Sandringham Estate comes as he is probed for his links to Jeffrey Epstein and on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Investigators are reportedly focusing on allegations that he shared sensitive government intelligence with Epstein during his tenure as trade envoy.
