BRITISH POLICE REVIEW EPSTEIN-LINKED REPORTS

Former British prince Andrew’s inexorable fall from grace has reached an extraordinary new low as he becomes the first member of the UK royal family to be arrested in the modern era.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as he is now known, had already been stripped of all his titles last year by his brother, King Charles III, and ousted from his home on the Windsor estate to a remote corner of rural England.

The man who once swanned around the world in private jets, staying at luxury hotels and palaces, was in custody and likely spending his 66th birthday inside a police cell yesterday.

Unpopular with public

Andrew was already deeply unpopular with the British public, with an October YouGov poll finding that 91 per cent had a negative opinion of him.
