Prince Philip

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, also known as Prince Andrew, is the brother of King Charles III and was once a prominent member of the British Royal Family. He was reportedly favored by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. However, his reputation suffered significantly due to his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He is newsworthy due to his recent arrest by UK police in February 2026 on suspicion of misconduct in public office. This marks the first time a senior royal has been arrested in modern British history. Further, newly released emails reveal that Andrew vouched for Epstein during a 2010 state visit to the United Arab Emirates with Queen Elizabeth II. He has been released under investigation, and the situation continues to unfold, raising serious questions about his past conduct and its impact on the monarchy.
