Prince Andrew Arrested in Epstein Scandal: First Royal in 4 Centuries
•Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested by British police on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to Jeffrey Epstein.
•This marks the first time in nearly four centuries a senior British royal has been placed under arrest, highlighting an erosion of deference to the monarchy.
•King Charles III issued a statement affirming, "the law must take its course," regarding his brother's arrest.
•Mountbatten-Windsor was released under investigation after 11 hours, neither charged nor exonerated, following searches of his residences.
•The investigation stems from newly released correspondence suggesting Mountbatten-Windsor sent trade information to Epstein in 2010 and invited him to Buckingham Palace.
