Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested by UK police at Sandringham estate amid Jeffrey Epstein scandal
This arrest was made by King George III. It followed a major statement from Charles that left no doubt that he would assist any police investigation despite his younger brother’s viewpoint. As more details emerge about Andrew’s ties to Epstein, the head of the royal family has confirmed a statement to support investigations.
A spokesman for the King said on Tuesday last week: “The King has made clear, through his words and unprecedented actions, his deep concern about the allegations that continue to come to light about Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s conduct.” “Whilst the specific allegations in question are a matter for Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if Thames Valley Police contact us we are ready to support them as you would expect.”
The statement also reminded that Queen Camilla shared society’s concerns about the treatment of women and girls, saying, “Her Majesty’s thoughts and sympathies have been and continue to be victims of all forms of abuse.”
Shortly before the King’s announcement, Prince William and Princess Catherine also expressed their views on the scandal, albeit in a brief statement. A spokesman for William and Kate said: “I can confirm that the prince and princess are deeply concerned by the ongoing revelations. Their thoughts are focused on the victims.”
The consequences were clear: the royal family would not be able to protect Andrew from the police.
