Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on February 19, 2026, which just so happened to be the former prince's 66th birthday. After 11 hours of questioning, he was released, and the paparazzi managed to capture a haunting photo of a terrified-looking Andrew in the backseat of a car. Now, one royal reporter has suggested that Andrew believes the photo moment was a "setup."
According to Rob Shuter's Substack, "Andrew is privately seething over the now-iconic image of him slumped in the back of a Range Rover after a day in police custody—and believes someone inside the royal machine tipped off photographers."
