Former Prince Andrew Arrested on Suspicion of Misconduct

I can tell you, first of all, the reaction in this NEWSROOM that this is the kind of moment where you don't just do a sharp intake of breath. Would as you see the news come through like, you know, people are standing up at their desk just wanting to make eye contact and talk about the enormity of what's happened. So it was in the morning our time that the news first came that one of the police forces in the U.K., the one that works in and around the London area, in the words of their statement, had arrested a man in his sixties on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

It was soon apparent that this man was the former Prince Andrew. But the key point being the idea that a member of the royal family has been arrested is in police custody, is answering questions, and that police searches of two properties. The police statement told us, were under way, Norfolk and Berkshire.

Now, that means Royal residences estates around Windsor and Sandringham at Norfolk, which is where Prince Andrew, former Prince Andrew is effectively in an internal exile. So there's the enormity of that. And then it's clear from the police statement that what they're actually investigating is the period when Andrew was a UK trade envoy and what the Epstein Files now appear to show about the passing of information to Jeffrey.

And I know the Telegraph has an extended discussion about Icelandic material stuff off our Radar in America. Michelle The reality for Alexis Christopher is Paul Sweeney and Tom Keene is our knowledge is Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter in The King's Speech a few years ago discuss the resonance of this with the next royal family, with the Prince of the Princess of Wales, the the King Ill with cancer doing better in all that.
