Isn't it time we stripped this man of his names completely? Far too much to type.
Henceforth let him be known as AMW.

Indeed the stuff about sex in the Epstein Files is sordid and degrading - it's repellent that these supposed elites have all this influence while sitting discussing 14 year olds or which Russian girl has STDs on their emails. The whole business is grim.
But the other thing is just how much dodgy dealing was also going on; the evidence of Andrew passing confidential government information to potential investors so they could have insider info and invest early is...really damning AND it is an offence here. So I am unsurprised the police have moved to arrest him. I can only imagine Andrew's brief might be looking at whether he can claim he wasn't a "public officer" and defend himself that way.

You will note the name of the person now shown in the title of this thread.
I think the point being made wasn't about titles, but rather that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is, at 27 characters, too much to type.
Absolutely. I can see which facet of Andrew’s behaviour has the greater weight of evidence for arrest currently. Based on that, I wonder what powers the police will seek to mine the email chain from Andrew’s end?

Quite, if that has to go in every reference to the man it adds further nausea to the affairs.

A-Mountz would be his rapper name

AMW is the three-letter station code for the Indian Railways station of Amanwadi.
Also, now that he's been charged with one offence (which they are pretty confident of securing a conviction for) his emails, etc. become fair game for investigation in order to build the case, and if it so happens that they find evidence of additional crimes...
Has he been charged? I can only see he's been arrested so far?

I don't think he's been charged (yet)

Can I remind everyone that this is now a live investigation, and as such, we all need to be guarded as to what we post,
Personally speaking, I'm hoping that the veil of silence those people maintained, will now be lifted, and some justice can finally be found by the victims,

Was the arrest of the future Queen Elizabeth during the reign of Queen Mary the last time that a "royal" of such status had been arrested?
Charles I might have something to say about that.

Indeed so. Of course, the punishments suffered by both Charles I and Queen Mary are not likely to be repeated in the 21st century.

I think it was coincidence. Starmer was quoted earlier stating ‘no one is above the law’ and I feel that my have been relevant in that he knew it was about to happen.

Gone from being a guest of His Majesty to potentially being a 'guest of His Majesty'?
I can see it now if he gets banged up.
Gets into a fight with an inmate. "My dad runs this place!"

And Andrew replies ‘my brother owns it’.
Ugh yes, I was imagining a, "My dad's bigger than your dad!", situation and got carried away
Despite the royal precedents mentioned earlier -if anything comes to a criminal court, this will surely be the first formal “Rex vs “Lil’ Bro” under the proper rule of law!And Andrew replies ‘my brother owns it’.

Didn’t Princess Anne get convicted of speeding a couple of times, many years ago? So not actually the first criminal case against a Royal.
She was convicted of failing to control her dog at a magistrates court. However, I'm not sure this would have necessarily involved her being arrested, merely being sent a summons to appear in court.

My respect for the Royal Family in general is now at an all-time low, thanks to him and his nephew in California.

3 speeding convictions, plus the dog case. No arrests but they are still criminal court cases involving R v a Royal.

Apparently neither the King nor Buckingham Palace were made aware of his arrest in advance:

Police asking Andrew's protection officers what 'they saw or heard' as part of Epstein files review
The Metropolitan Police says officers have been asked to consider whether anything "they saw or heard during that period of service may be relevant to our ongoing reviews".

"more severe offences" - misconduct in public office carries a max sentence of life imprisonment! I get your point entirely (and agree), but important to note that the suspected offence is possibly one of THE most serious/severe there is in terms of the law.

If Andrew is convicted of this offence, there could be an Al Capone-esque outcome here, who was done for tax evasion, not any of the mafia stuff.
