Prince Andrew Rocks The Monarchy!
The royal fans know that King Charles’s brother, former Prince Andrew, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The police searched two royal properties, and news channels talked about the details of the Epstein controversy linked to the former Prince.
Elsewhere, King sat in the front row on the first day of London Fashion Week. Meanwhile, Queen Camilla went to a lunchtime concert.
Thus, the royals continued to do their royal duties. They showed their strength amid the arrest of Prince Andrew. His involvement in the scandal could damage the reputation of the royal family.
However, King Charles issued a statement claiming that he and his family would continue in their service. He stated that after the former Prince Andrew was in custody. He was held for eleven hours and released under investigation.
Prince Andrew Sparks Royal Historic Crisis!
The event was so shocking that the commentators compared it to the events from the 1640s when the arrest of King Charles I took place. Andrew’s arrest is the royal family’s biggest crisis since 1936, when King Edward abdicated in 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson.
The situation improved when King George VI refused to flee during World War II. Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth II pledged her life in service to Britain. Later, Edward gave up the throne, and his older brother became King.
However, the current crisis is different. The police claim that Andrew sent trade information to Epstein in 2010 when he was Britain’s special envoy for international trade. At least eight police forces are looking into the matter.
Meanwhile, the expert, Ed Owens, said that it is difficult to overcome the crisis as there is no blueprint. The last time the monarchy managed such a situation was at the time of Princess Diana’s death. The royal family was criticised for not responding to public grief.
What Will The Royals Do?
The crisis also showed that Diana knew how to connect with people. Thus, since then, William and Harry have followed an informal approach. Meanwhile, the royal fans know that the royals have stripped Andrew’s titles. Furthermore, the British government also wants to remove him from the line of succession to the crown.
Elsewhere, Peter Hunt claimed that the best result for the monarchy would be if the police only focused on Prince Andrew’s involvement in the Epstein files. The worst outcome would be if the investigation dives deeper into what the royal family knows. He added that there might be more to find out. Meanwhile, share your opinions about it in the comments.
