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.

    “Andrew shared confidential information with Epstein”:

    Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears to have knowingly shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein from his official work as trade envoy in 2010 and 2011, according to material in the latest release of files in the US seen by the BBC. …

    Official terms of reference for trade envoys state that they “are not civil servants”, adding: “However, the role of a Trade Envoy carries with it a duty of confidentiality in relation to information received. This may include sensitive, commercial, or political information shared about relevant markets/visits. In addition, the Official Secrets Acts 1911 and 1989 will apply.

    Shouldn’t the UK Police take away Andrew’s passport, so he doesn’t do a Roman Polanski?
