Prince (not) Andrew arrested.

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

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

You'd think. If they're searching more than one property I'm guessing his current one as well. They did say Norfolk.

I think that the RF were aware this was going to happen, they were given a heads up by the police to essentially distance themselves eg no titles, out of the massive house etc. I think he will be charged but it will be a suspended sentence rather than jail time.

Shit what a fiasco 😱

I love this - anyone who uses "the tumbrils" is top dog to me

It's quite obvious. There is no coincidence with the removal of titles, clearout and the move. Timing is everything.

Prison is to nice for that creep.
I'd love to see him end up a homeless statistic - no friends and definitely no help financial or otherwise from anyone.

Problem with Prison is he'll either buy his way out or kill himself like his mate to avoid justice.

Totally agree. It's been said that Charles knew this would be coming last Autumn. But the final straw was Andrew blatantly waving to people with a big grin on his face in Windsor great park a couple of weeks ago, hence the midnight flit.

The UK is NOT leading the way. European nations started arresting the men who whose identities were in the Epstein files.

This is too little - too late.

Andrew should have been charged with SA. He wasn’t.

The Police also need to investigate the murder of the Latvian woman whose body was found near Andrew’s mansion years ago.

Oh the Grand Old Duke of York,
He had 12 million quid,
He gave it to someone he’d never met,
For something he never did.

(altogether now!)

Agree, but did the RF know what was potentially coming so had a clear out while the release of the files were delayed again until after the move?

It was reported Royal lodge had lots of evidence items built up over the years in it and needed a big clearout.

That's what I thought.

fingers crossed the 24 Hours in Police Custody cameras are around

That would break the internet!

About time!
have been pondering if one of the reasons it’s happened now he’s at Sandringham, is because he’s now off ‘crown property’ … don’t know but it just seems to have fallen just as he’s moved

I would rather Andrew was investigated on everything, but at the moment, I will take anything rather than him sat at home, stuffing foie gras and birthday cake today being a smug, untouchable bastard.

Absolutely this. I keep reading that the "UK is leading the way". Propaganda at it's finest. To say nothing of the RF trying to bail out one of their own (and silence a trafficked woman) to the tune of £12 million.

Agreed.

It was a bad move by Queenie imo and something that will taint her memory.

I think that the RF were aware this was going to happen

Of course they were!

Yes. Yesterday on the radio I heard the uncomfortable questions being fended off by an MP who'd come across him in his work.

I hope he's being held in a cell.

He will be released without charge

That's if you swallowed the "image" in the first place. She was no better than the rest of them.

Can you imagine the police offering him instant coffee, and a duty solicitor, while he is wearing one of those grey tracksuits? OMG

There is no evidence that she gave him money for this pay off, and certainly no evidence for the sum of £12m.

Regardless of whether this is about the Epstein files or ‘just’ about misconduct in public office’, I’m hoping that he’ll be charged with something. It will still be a lot better than I ever expected.

And hopefully the investigation will lead to more evidence concerning his links with Epstein coming to light.

Will he finally decide to reveal all he knows? If he doesn’t, will Mandelson, who will also be part of this investigation?

Sadly, I have my doubts. There are powerful men, including the current POTUS, who have every reason to conceal what their own involvement in the Epstein scandal.
