What's This About?

The post claims that former Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor), brother of King Charles, was arrested by British police on his 66th birthday following revelations in newly released Epstein files. In reality, he was arrested on February 18, 2026, on suspicion of misuse of public office related to emails sharing confidential trade envoy reports with Jeffrey Epstein after the files' release on January 30. He was held for about 11 hours at a Norfolk police station, released under investigation, and treated like any other suspect, marking the first arrest of a senior royal in modern history; King Charles issued a statement affirming the law must take its course.

Sensational posts like this gain traction amid ongoing public fascination with the British monarchy's Epstein ties.
