King Charles III After Andrew Arrest: 'The Law Must Take Its Course'
The King has said he is supporting the police investigation into his brother, a clear indication there should be no favour shown.
King Charles III has said he is supporting the police investigation into his brother, Andrew, insisting “the law must take its course”, a clear indication there should be no favour shown.
The United Kingdom is a country where even the most senior Royals can’t escape the law, it was shown on Thursday, after the brother of the King was arrested on suspicion of “misconduct in public office”. The arrest relates to emails containing privileged government information he is alleged to have sent disgraced and deceased paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein over 15 years ago while Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formally known as Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, while he served the British government as a trade envoy.
Although no misdeeds by Andrew regarding this alleged sharing of secrets or alleged involvement with young women procured by Epstein have yet been proven in a court of law, the King already moved to strip Andrew of his Royal position and titles last year. On Thursday, after the arrest, the King continued to signal support for the legal process, and stated that he would be cooperating with the authorities who, after all, operate in his name as head of state.
