Nice to see nobody is above the law, what an embarrassment!

And what a b'day surprise that must've been for him...

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, BBC understands

It comes after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Jeffrey Epstein.

Let's wait and see. I suspect this is just to sate the general public. I'll eat my hat if anything actually comes of it.

Glad the UK is leading the way in actually doing something about those named in the files unlike everywhere else it seems.

Good point. Only target and arrest British people? Why?

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 19/02/2026 10:22

How embarrassing.

MokaEfti · 19/02/2026 10:22

I hope it brings down the whole international ring- not necessarily the royal family. But I don’t think it will

Didn't think this would happen but bloody glad it has.

WaryHiker · 19/02/2026 10:21

I have to admit I've had a Home Alone (sort of) earworm ever since hearing the news.

"Happy Birthday, you filthy animal!"

Lifesd · 19/02/2026 10:21

About time - now can the rest follow

ButIloveher · 19/02/2026 10:21

Hope he now names all the other redacted names from the files and his arrest is only the first. Andrew is a disgusting man but he’s not the only one, this mustn’t stop with Andrew.

Wow didn't think that would happen. Good it has. Hopeful for more accountability beyond maxwell.

I hope this brings down the whole royal family. Pointless bunch of wankers.

Oh, me too!

FrothyCothy · 19/02/2026 10:16

He’ll probably be breaking a sweat now after all.

WarriorN · 19/02/2026 10:15

Wow

live feed says he turns 66 today

How fabulous!

Instructions · 19/02/2026 10:14

Well this is cheering to see!

plentyofsunshine · 19/02/2026 10:13

Hopefully the police officers who were complicit in this will be arrested too.

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 19/02/2026 10:13

Better late than never.

EsmaCannonball · 19/02/2026 10:12

Feels like it's my birthday now.

Squirrelchops1 · 19/02/2026 10:12

Happy Birthday to him!
