Months after King Charles had stripped his brother Andrew of all royal titles, Andrew was arrested over his connections with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Hours after the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, King Charles has finally broken the silence. On Feb 19, Andrew, the youngest son of late Queen Elizabeth, was taken into custody after a morning raid on his Norfolk home. Thames Valley Police arrested Andrew on his 66th birthday.
Andrew's arrest comes after a month-long scrutiny regarding his connections with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He has become the first senior royal in modern history to be arrested.

‘’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,'' they said.
Following years of controversy surrounding the former Duke of York and his connection with Epstein, in Oct 2025, he was stripped of the Prince title. He was even asked to vacate the Royal Lodge and move to a property on the private Sandringham estate.
On the arrest and the serious revelations that continue to make the headlines, Charles said in the statement, ‘’Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all''.
According to The Daily Mail, multiple sources claim that King was not informed about the arrest.
Andrew has been kept in “a cell in a custody suite” with just “a bed and a toilet," where he will wait until his police interview, and there will be “no special treatment” for the ex-royal in custody. Andrew ‘s arrest has come as a shock as he’s one of the only royal, who has been arrested in modern history.
