• Given the way the royal family works, I wonder, if he’s imprisoned, would Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor notice the difference. After all, he will still be being detained at his majesty’s pleasure.

• Bad luck for Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to be nabbed on his 66th birthday. But at least he now gets his pension.

• The last time a senior royal was arrested was in 1647. It didn’t end well for King Charles I.

• The Crown Prosecution Service – a prescient title.
