BURLINGTON, ON
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew, was arrested by police on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his links to Jeffrey Epstein,
It was also his 66th birthday.
According to the BBC most people arrested in Britain are either released or charged within 12 to 24 hours.
Royal journalist Russell Myers, has been campaigning for years to have Andrew excommunicated from the family, dating back to the former prince’s interview in 2019.
“Once you understand the fact that everything that happens in the here and now, affects everything in the future, William’s future, it is very easy to put yourself in his shoes,” a source tells Myers. “He never much liked his uncle and wanted him out of the picture immediately before the rot further set in.”

Prince Andrew when the going was good.
What happens next?
In their statement, the police acknowledge the public interest and said Andrew has been released “under investigation,” which essentially means that police are still investigating, but no formal charges have been laid at this point.
The charges are related to work Mountbatten-Windsor did when he was Envoy for the British government. He is said to have made some sensitive trade documents available to Jeffrey Epstein, who used them to interest some of his well-heeled investors.
Will the whole story come out? Will Mountbatten-Windsor be charged, face a trial, be convicted and jailed in the Tower of London?
Those Royals certainly know how to put on a show.
