LONDON: The younger brother of King Charles, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly known as Prince Andrew), was arrested at his home on Sandringham Estate on Thursday morning, his 66th birthday, by plainclothes police after accusations that as a trade envoy he had shared confidential UK govt information with the disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
No other royal has been arrested in modern British history, making Andrew’s arrest the biggest of many scandals that have plagued the UK’s House of Windsor. Princess Anne had been convicted twice but was merely summoned to court.
