Stephen Colbert wasted no time diving into some royal drama on The Late Show Thursday night, and he clearly enjoyed every second of it. The late night host opened with applause for British authorities after Andrew Mountbatten Windsor formerly Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office tied to the investigation into his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
According to reports, Mountbatten Windsor was detained by U.K. police earlier Thursday morning in connection with alleged “misconduct in public office” reportedly linked to emails in the Justice Department’s Epstein files release that suggest he sent trade reports to Epstein in 2010. The arrest does not relate to longstanding allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has denied.
