Prince Andrew Arrested, Released in Epstein Probe; Royal Title Stripped
•Prince Andrew was arrested and held for hours by British police on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his links to Jeffrey Epstein.
•This marks the first time in nearly four centuries a senior British royal was placed under arrest, highlighting eroding deference to the monarchy.
•Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was released from UK police custody but remains under active investigation.
•His association with Jeffrey Epstein began in 1999, and he was photographed visiting Epstein in 2010 after Epstein's conviction, drawing criticism.
•Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal status due to reputational damage, continued association with Epstein, a civil lawsuit settlement, and a collapse of public trust.
