That's the end of British reverence for the monarchy, I'm sorry to say

The arrest on Thursday of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the fool formerly known as a prince, marks the definite end of public reverence toward the British monarchy. I write that as an Englishman who is rather fond of it.

The brother of King Charles III was "nicked," as we like to say, on his 66th birthday — for unspecified misconduct in public office. The police had previously said they were reviewing claims that he passed sensitive government information to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while working as a trade envoy.
