The arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in a public office was never going to go uncommented upon by the Royal Family and within hours of the news breaking King Charles released a statement. It’s understood that His Majesty wasn’t informed in advance and he "learned with the deepest concern" about his brother’s arrest.
"What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation," he continued. "Let me state clearly: the law must take its course."
