Responding to the fall of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

Since Charles I, no British royal has ever been arrested. Until last week.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, spent his 66th birthday in police custody under suspicion for misconduct in public office. He was later released, but the investigation is ongoing.

It is but the latest shockwave that has burst out after the Department of Justice in America released a whole tranche of the Jeffrey Epstein files. So far, an Ambassador has been sacked and disgraced, the Prime Minister has lost his chief of staff and his Head of Communications. Oh, and the chief civil servant in the country also stood down (albeit less directly connected to Epstein).
