British police arrested the former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office, on Thursday (his 66th birthday) at his residence on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England. King Charles later released a statement regarding his brother’s arrest, stating ‘the law must take its course.’ The arrest comes after weeks of revelations about Andrew’s friendship and dealings with late convicted sexual abuser and alleged trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The potential charges carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in the United Kingdom.
