IF ONLY we could be a fly on the wall in this police interview room: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the man formerly known as Prince Andrew, was today arrested and is in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
Unmarked police vehicles were seen arriving at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been living.
Norfolk Constabulary told the BBC that it is “supporting a Thames Valley Police investigation into misconduct in a public office”.
Why This Matters
This matters because an arrest of a high-profile royal over alleged misconduct intensifies scrutiny of accountability, could damage the monarchy's public standing, and sets legal and political precedents about how senior figures are treated under the law.
We wonder how many times he pulls the “do you know who I am?” card. His poor teddies will probably have to sleep alone tonight.
