Andrew crisis haunts monarchyThis photo from Thursday shows media coverage of the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsordent Donald Trump boards Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. nytFor centuries, the British monarchy has survived by carefully weaving a narrative of moral leadership and national service. That meticulously constructed image has been deeply undermined by the persistent shadow of the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein scandal. That sense of entitlement was challenged on Thursday (Feb 19), when Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested for questioning on suspicion of misconduct. The arrest marks the latest fallout from the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which first erupted in early 2006 when his association with a convicted sex offender became public.
