Andrew Arrested and in Custody

I was just perusing the BBC and the news flash was that Andrew had just been arrested and placed in custody in relation to a charge of misconduct in public office. And that on his 66th birthday.

I looked back at my posts and I noted that on 3 September 2025, I had written about the book Entitled, which was a devastating account of the life and (mis)deeds of the then Prince Andrew. Reading that book, I was appalled at the behavior of a royal who had blatantly misused his position to extract benefits of all kinds for himself.

In subsequent interviews, the author had then stated that it was, according to him, a matter of time before Andrew faced police investigations.

I didn’t think that would happen but the release a week back of a large tranche of the Epstein documents has implicated Andrew so much that it is no longer possible for anyone to protect him. Although I do wonder what would have happened if his mother was still alive. He was, after all, the Queen’s favourite child.

It is only a question of time before it will be the turn of Peter Mandelson.
