Royal Shock: Andrew Arrested as King Says “Law Must Take Its Course”

Julia Hartley-Brewer speaks to former Sun Royal Editor Charlie Rae after the extraordinary arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office. With the King declaring that “the law must take its course” and expressing his “deepest concern,” the constitutional stakes could not be higher. Rae calls the development “absolutely extraordinary” and warns the former prince will now face investigators who will be “probing exactly what he did, when he did it and how he did it” — not a television interviewer, but detectives examining alleged confidential emails linked to the Epstein files.Drawing on decades covering the Royal Family, Rae gives a personal insight into Andrew’s character, describing him as “an arrogant man” who made it clear, “I am a Prince of the Realm.” The discussion revisits long-standing allegations connected to Jeffrey Epstein, Virginia Giuffre and claims of trafficking to the UK, asking why earlier complaints were not fully investigated and why misconduct in public office has become the first arrestable offence. Rae questions whether royal protection officers “must have seen something” during trips to Epstein’s New York residence, and whether more scrutiny is still to come.As multiple police forces assess evidence and the monarchy faces intense global attention, Julia and Rae examine whether this moment ultimately shields King Charles by proving no one is above the law — or deepens the crisis engulfing the House of Windsor. With Andrew denying wrongdoing and the legal process now under way, this episode breaks down what happens next in the Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein and Royal Family investigation. Hosted on Acast.
