Looking haggard, shamed and haunted, Andrew is released from police custody 11 hours after his arrest plunged the modern monarchy into its gravest peril
[MAIL] A haggard Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was driven away from a police station on Thursday night following his arrest that shocked the world.
Sure. His beloved big bro, King Charles III, just threw him to the wolves.
Some 11 hours after officers knocked on his door on the Sandringham estate to arrest him on suspicion of misconduct in public office, a stunned looking Andrew was released under investigation.

As his arrest triggered arguably the biggest crisis in the monarchy for nearly 400 years, his brother, the King, insisted Andrew should be subject to the full force of British justice, saying: 'The law must take its course.'

In an unprecedented and historic personal statement, Charles, 77, expressed his 'deepest concern' at the news police had picked up Andrew, on his 66th birthday, in extraordinary scenes on Thursday morning.

The King also pledged his 'full and wholehearted support and co-operation' with the ongoing police investigation.

The charge is a rare but serious crime, liable for trial by jury, and carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

He has not yet been charged.

Andrew's arrest sensationally took place on the monarch's private estate in Norfolk, to where the former Duke of York was recently exiled following his public disgrace.

1 By British standards he should walk and Virginia Giuffre‘s ashes should have to serve a three year sentence.

2 Given, the UK:
* Is having Muslim Call to pray.
* The 3x London mayor (Sir Sadiq Aman Khan) is Muslim.
* The UK culture is in a death spin.
* King Charles low approval rating (Princess Di's death?).
* Plus a lack of any other royalty with a real leadership skills.

It is only a matter of time, before UK Royalty will be eliminated to make way for the upcoming UK Ayatollah. All made possible by the EU Open Borders and various related far left agendas.

The US DC Swamp / Elites needs to start looking at what has, and how it happened to the UK, Australia and Canada and address it.

Because, million of 3rd world Illegals are already here and using the same UK take over process agenda, with the help of the Liberal, Socialists and Democrat parties.

3 I think it's little more than a symbolic distraction. Possibly a sacrifice to the media to cover for potentially numerous others, royal and not, and the Paki rape gangs and their co-conspirators.

4 He got a very rude awakening that he is not special anymore and that his family will not protect him.

9 Given that King Charles III took his long-time mistress as his second wife and queen, former prince Andrew is not necessarily the most irregular of the royals, just the one without the power to demand brushing his indiscretions under the rug.
