Britain's royals face their worst crisis in 90 years over Andrew's Epstein links
Former Prince Andrew was held for 11 hours over allegations of sharing confidential UK government documents with Jeffrey Epstein, marking an unprecedented royal investigation.
- On Thursday, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested at Sandringham and spent around 11 hours in custody before being released 'under investigation', with images running on Friday.

- Pressure now falls on Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales, to restore royal integrity as YouGov's January poll showed only 3% viewed Mountbatten-Windsor favourably and 90% held a negative opinion.
