Prince Andrew’s Career Hits New Low: Arrested For Playing Trade Envoy to Epstein
KEY POINTS
- •Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office involving confidential UK trade documents shared with Jeffrey Epstein.
- •King Charles III publicly supported the legal process and had stripped Andrew of all royal titles last year after his Epstein ties became widely known.
- •The 2022 lawsuit settlement with Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre and recent DOJ evidence, including redacted photos, have intensified investigations and public scrutiny.
In a plot twist straight out of a royal candelabra falling on the crown, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, aka former Prince Andrew, got arrested on Thursday for misconduct in public office, allegedly forwarding secret UK trade documents to Jeffrey Epstein around 2010-2011. The saga includes King Charles III’s impressive ‘law must take its course’ diploma-worthy statement, a DOJ photo of Andrew kneeling over a masked woman, and a 2022 lawsuit settlement with Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre, who died last year aged 41. Charles stripped Andrew of titles last year, evicted him from Windsor’s royal estate, and Andrew’s still not allowed back on tea party guest lists.
