- The UK government is considering legislation to remove Andrew, currently eighth in line, but stated the process could take years and would not begin until his investigation concludes.
- Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office, accused of sharing sensitive information with Jeffrey Epstein, though he denies any wrongdoing.
