Was Charles III aware that former Prince Andrew was going to be arrested?

Charles III issued a statement supporting the authorities following the arrest of his brother, former Prince Andrew, in connection with the Epstein case.

On February 19, shortly after the arrest of his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor regarding the Epstein case, British monarch Charles III released a statement reaffirming his support for the authorities handling the matter. In his Instagram post, he emphasized that 'justice must take its course,' underscoring his stance on the gravity of the situation.

The police from Windsor confirmed that Andrew was arrested at his Wood Farm residence due to allegations of misconduct in office connected to the Epstein scandal. The arrest comes amid heightened scrutiny of figures associated with Jeffrey Epstein, leading to significant public interest and media coverage of the royal family’s response to these allegations. Charles's calm demeanor at a public event shortly after his brother's arrest was particularly striking, as he was seen smiling at the front row of the Tolu Coker fashion show during London Fashion Week.

This incident not only raises questions about royal family dynamics but also highlights the ongoing impact of the Epstein scandal on public perceptions of the monarchy. The juxtaposition of the serious matter of his brother’s arrest and Charles’s public engagement may lead to further discussions on how the royal family navigates their public image in times of personal and familial crisis.
