Prince Andrew, formerly a helicopter pilot and trade envoy, has become a royal pariah. Born in 1960 as the third child and second son of Queen Elizabeth II, he was reportedly her favorite. On his 66th birthday, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested in London on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The arrest stems from an inquiry related to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He is the first senior British royal to be arrested in almost 400 years, since King Charles I.
