An ashen-faced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been pictured leaving police custody, following his unprecedented arrest on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
The former prince looked shellshocked as he cowered in the back of a car leaving Aylsham police station in Norfolk shortly after 7pm on his return to Sandringham.
Andrew, who turned 66 today, was detained by officers during an 8am raid on his new home at Wood Farm. In events that rocked the royal family, he became the first senior royal to be arrested in modern times.
Thames Valley Police confirmed the disgraced former prince had been taken into custody just after 10am on Thursday, marking one of the worst days for the family in recent history.
In a statement put out just minutes after Andrew's departure, Thames Valley Police said 'a man in his sixties' has been released under investigation - as images showed how the royal seemed to be trying to evade photographers following his bruising day in the cells.
Wide-eyed and with his hands clasped in front of him, Andrew cut a lonely figure as he ditched his traditional suit and tie attire in favour of a shirt and cardigan more suited to the setting that is so far removed from the upper echelons of luxury he is used to.
The photograph of the former prince, now stripped of all his titles and privileges, is sure to haunt the royal family in the days and weeks to come.

He’s a sicko.
Richard Pryor didn’t live long enough to show him as he did with Gene Wilder how to walk confidently into prison past the cons and to keep thinking “We bad. We bad.”

rubbish
So, he’s the pervert Andrew, formerly known as Prince? ;-P
All royals are rubbish.
By chance heard about 90 seconds of Glenn Beck repeating if common Americans hear that all the rich, born elite upper crust get off of all crimes and never go to prison, they will totally disregard the system of justice and the laws passed in DC. Same with the British. He wrote off Pam Bondi a couple of weeks ago in a most of 3 hours show.
If no one has to obey the law-—then fine.
I will be released. A holy vigilante using my power of anger to get revenge. Let the Dems turn the other cheek and give their cloaks and coat to some Somalian trans type.
Don’t laugh at me. You and I are created equal.

For the past 10 days detectives have been probing Andrew's conduct as a trade envoy for the UK, after emails in the Epstein Files suggested he may have shared confidential information with his paedophile friend, including reports of his official visits and potential investment opportunities.

Web footed inbreds
Fine art van was seen leaving the premises? Are they saying Andrew got fine art for his disclosures to Epstein? Bribes?
Big time, many of the royals are messed up - look at Harry.
Is there some legitimate reason for a toddler playing with a boob ball with nipple?
Could be worse. He only got arrested. King Charles I was executed. (Andrew is descended from a sister of Charles I.)
For his birthday, Kid Brother gets the charade of his “arrest” done and out of the way.
Probably not a bad take. He's already received all the punishment he's going to get, banishment from the Royal Family.
Meanwhile Jeffrey paid Fergie’s bills for 15 years—and the royal family didn’t know? Sure.
LOL!! Sure, I trust the Brits to get to the bottom of it all. Anthony Blunt was the Queen Mother's cousin. He was the 4th man of the Cambridge Five spy ring. He worked as a Professor at London University, served as the official Art Historian to Queen Elizabeth II and Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures from 1956 until November 1979. He was also a Russian spy, having been recruited by them sometime in the early to mid 30's. He was recruited by MI5 during WWII. Blunt admitted his guilt as a spy in 1964. They kept this information from Queen Elizabeth II for 10 years while he continued to work in the palace until he resigned after being outed by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to the House of Common on November 15, 1979.
They, the Royals, used to lose their heads when they broke the law.
Luke chapter 12
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known. 3 For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops. 4 And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him.
