US EditionBritain's royals face their worst crisis in 90 years over Andrew's Epstein links
Prince Andrew was held for 11 hours on suspicion of misconduct related to sharing sensitive documents and alleged abuse linked to Jeffrey Epstein, marking a major royal crisis.
- On Thursday, British police arrested Andrew, King Charles' younger brother, in a misconduct-in-public-office case, the first senior royal arrest since 1647.
- The case stems from allegations that Virginia Giuffre accuses Prince Andrew of sexually abusing her when she was 17 at locations linked to Jeffrey Epstein, while he served as a British trade envoy .
- Probing officials say the security officers' pocketbooks—never seized—may contain damning logs related to a $16,000,000 payment to Virginia Giuffre, as nine UK police departments investigate Andrew's Epstein ties.
- An expert cautioned that inquiries could prove the monarchy's undoing and said the institution now looks unusually vulnerable, with constitutional implications if Andrew claims he kept Charles informed, Jobson warned.
