From His Majesty The King:

I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.

    He’s the sacrificial lamb, the powers that be will let the public rage against this while quietly shoving the rest of the Epstein revelations under the rug.

      I suspect he’s more likely the one that will turn on the others to save himself.

      I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they just picked some high status moron to be their fall guy.

        I’d like to hope he’s the first of a long line of people arrested.

        Next up should be Mandleson who has done the same as him with his government emails

          I reckon Mandelson might have done worse. I feel like Andrew was just a pawn/fall guy in this whole thing. “Haha, we have dirt on the Queen’s son” type situation
