King Charles III and Queen Camilla Dodge Questions About Ex-Prince Andrew Amid Disgraced Royal’s Arrest

King Charles III and Queen Camilla said nothing as reporters pressed them for reactions to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s shocking arrest during separate appearances.

According to the BBC, on Thursday, February 19, King Charles, 77, maintained a full slate of engagements despite police arriving to arrest Andrew at his residence on the Sandringham estate early that morning. His Majesty attended a London Fashion Week event and greeted diplomats at St. James’s Palace. When reporters shouted questions about his brother, he simply walked past, offering no comment.

Hours earlier, the monarch released a firm statement acknowledging he learned the news “with the deepest concern,” noting “the law must take its course” and “it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter.”

Meanwhile, Charles’ wife Camilla was also confronted by reporters during her scheduled appearance at Sinfonia Smith Square Hall in London, People reported. After leaving a lunchtime concert, an onlooker asked, “Are you concerned about Andrew’s arrest, your Majesty?” Camilla smiled and waved — but did not answer the question about her brother-in-law.

The disgraced royal, 66, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office amid allegations over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

As Examiner previously reported, legal experts now warn Andrew could face a “substantial period of time” behind bars if charged and convicted of sharing confidential government information with Epstein. While life imprisonment is considered unlikely, attorneys note the case hinges on the “level of trust that has been breached.”

Andrew continues to deny wrongdoing.
