The arrest of Prince Andrew: a first in the British royal family since 1649

Prince Andrew has been arrested at his residence in Wood Farm, marking the first time a member of the British royal family has been taken into custody since 1649.

On February 19, former Prince Andrew was arrested at Wood Farm, his home located on the Sandringham royal estate, marking a historic first for the British royal family, as no member has been arrested since 1649. The arrest was prompted by allegations of misconduct in the exercise of official duties, as announced by the Windsor police. The incident has sent shockwaves through the monarchy, given the rarity of such events involving its members, who typically enjoy a level of legal immunity.
