Will the British monarchy collapse after Andrew’s arrest?
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his 66th birthday at Sandringham Estate over suspicions of sharing confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein, then released after 11 hours under investigation. The arrest marks an unprecedented scandal for the British monarchy, raising questions about its future and public trust, with support for the institution at historic lows. King Charles III emphasized full cooperation with authorities and distanced the monarchy from Andrew, but royal watchers say the incident is the biggest challenge for the royal family in decades.
