King Charles Expresses 'Deep Concern' Over Prince Andrew's Arrest – 'The Law Must Follow Its Course', Full Support for Authorities

King Charles has stated, hours after the developments with Andrew, that 'the law must follow its course', while also expressing 'deep concern' over the arrest of his younger brother, who is being investigated for suspected improper conduct in public office. In a written statement, Charles said: 'I have learned with deep concern of the news regarding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and allegations of improper conduct in public office. What follows now is the full, fair and proper process, whereby the matter will be investigated appropriately and by the competent authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and cooperation. Let me be clear: the law must follow its course.' As this process continues, it would not be appropriate to make any further comment on the matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue our duty and service to all of you.'
