Following Andrew’s arrest, Giuffre’s family released a statement praising the investigation:
“At last. Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty. On behalf of our sister, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we extend our gratitude to the UK’s Thames Valley Police for their investigation and arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. He was never a prince. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”
King Charles, known for maintaining a cautious public stance on the matter, issued a statement expressing concern:
“I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair, and proper process by which this issue is investigated by the appropriate authorities. They have our full support and cooperation. The law must take its course.”
Thames Valley Police Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright confirmed that a formal investigation is underway. According to the Crown Prosecution Service, the alleged offence qualifies as “serious wilful abuse or neglect” while in public office. Wright emphasized the importance of protecting the integrity of the investigation, promising updates “at the appropriate time.”
Andrew has since been released from custody but remains under active investigation, leaving the royal family and the public closely watching the case unfold.
This landmark development marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing scrutiny of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ties to past scandals, reinforcing that even figures of royal lineage are accountable under the law.
