Former spy believes former Prince Andrew’s arrest was based on ‘significant’ evidence
A former spy has revealed the details of former Prince Andrew’s arrest, which took place on Thursday. Police arrested the former Duke of York at his new home in the morning on suspicion of “misconduct in public office”. Recently former Met Detective Chief Superintendent Barry Phillips told Sun The “old-fashioned” style of arrest was designed to protect evidence.
According to him, the police showed “stealth, swiftness and surprise” with the move. He claimed, “They have ensured that no evidence is potentially lost or misplaced. Knocking on doors minimizes that risk.” Furthermore, the former detective noted that the Thames Valley Police’s decision to arrest King Charles’ brother pointed to “significant” evidence.
Due to his past controversies, Andrew was stripped of his royal titles and duties last year. He was also moved out of his Windsor home, the Royal Lodge, where he lived for more than two decades. His former wife, Sarah Ferguson, also lost title and property. Recently, the 66-year-old man moved into his new residence at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
Within days of his transfer, Andrew was arrested on his birthday. Retired Detective Chief Inspector Mick Neville told the outlet that the recent news was an “extraordinary fall from grace” for the former prince. He hinted at what impact this arrest would reportedly have on the Emperor. He said, “This arrest could potentially pave the way for an extraordinary spectacle of Rex (Latin for King) versus Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor – his own brother.”
