He got lucky
Ok so we’re wallowing in Andy schadenfreude. I’m fine with that.
The image of a stunned Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor slumped back in a car after his arrest has been splashed over newspapers and websites worldwide.
Slumped back, slack-jawed, eyes gleaming sinisterly.
And the Reuters photographer who took it, Liverpool-born Phil Noble, said capturing the moment was “more luck than judgement”.
When news broke on Thursday morning that the King’s brother had been detained by police, Noble drove six hours south from his Manchester home to Norfolk where the former prince resides.
We thank him for his service.
Why are Andy’s hands in front of him? I thought it was standard police practice to cuff a suspect’s hands behind their back before transporting them – you know, officer safety and all that. I doubt the suspect showed as much concern for the comfort of the girls he allegedly raped.
Police arrested Andrew at 8am and released him at 7pm the same day (local time). The photo is police releasing him. Looks like he had a rough day.
