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

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

Of course they can.

Not sure she would be that bothered about him passing a few business deals on! If they ever find some evidence of wrongdoing in relation to sex trafficking so they can arrest him for that she might be happier.

Won’t it cost bazillions to protect him though? Although that said, it probably does anyway.

I wonder if he has to sit in a cell, like 24 hours in police custody, I do hope so.
how the mighty have fallen.

The next episode is going to be interesting 😁

I don't know, and laws might change as they do constantly.

But then you have to take into consideration of how that would effect victims of trafficking who are then unable to have any truly consensual, enthusiastically given sexual relationships without their chosen sexual partners being considered rapists under the law.

How would it work? in other words.

They'll just isolate him. Lots of prisoners have to be kept away from other prisoners.

Perhaps he'll do an 'Epstein' while in prison?

I just can’t actually believe that it’s happened and he might face justice for what he’s done. Whether that’s the girls, the public office stuff or anything else, he must have thought he was untouchable. He’s an absolute disgrace.

Perhaps it’s time for a significant investigation of the Royal Family’s finances and to enforce them complying with the same transparency and tax laws as everyone else.

Flipping well should be imo. It's hardly free will.

Reading about their activities

Spot on. He acted in a very seedy manner (understatement!) but not illegal UNLESS he knew/involved with actual trafficing.
It seems a slam dunk for the shady business delaings though so I expect he will see prison time.

Plenty of staff around to “look after” him, as well, and a house with many, many bedrooms. He should be delighted.

All that’s missing is his collection of teddies!

Makes you wonder what other dark secrets have been hidden over the years!

He is daft enough to think he can talk his way out of it.

Can you post a link to this please? I've not heard about this case. Thank you.

Hopefully the first of many.

I don't think it was Epstein that did the 'Epstein'!

The BBC have just said that Buckingham palace and the King were not told in advance about Andrew’s arrest, which is interesting.

Of course they could nt be told . He would have had time to react otherwise.
Its like when I worked in child protection- you absolutely do nothing in certain situations - so as not to affect evidence for the police etc .
its absolutely vital they were not told , not should they be .

Her family has release this statement

At last.

Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.

On behalf of our sister, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we extend our gratitude to the UK's Thames Valley Police for their investigation and arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

He was never a prince.

For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.

My worry is that a big thing is made of him being arrested and it looks like he's being punished for any potential crimes... But there has been enough time/forewarning for any evidence to be gotten rid of to convict him properly. We really need some justice done and anyone who surrounded him that new what was going on.

As an Irish observer I think it's a pretty desperate " look voters, we are not supporting paedophiles". Perhaps more convincing if they had already , or will, deport the gangs , and their supportive families, who raped young , vulnerable, english girls but...

Oh! The grand ex-Duke of York. He had 12 million quid. He gave it to someone he'd "never met" for something he "never did"
