Prince Andrew, eighth in line to the British throne, has been arrested on suspicion of sharing sensitive information with Jeffrey Epstein during his time in public office. The Australian Prime Minister has written to the UK supporting Andrew's removal from the line of succession, whilst former UK ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson has also been arrested in connection to the Epstein files. King Charles has publicly distanced himself from his brother, referring to him as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in an official statement supporting the police investigation.
