The photo of someone whose past has finally caught up with them



After nearly 12 hours in a police station.

The shell-shocked, disbelieving, haunted face of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will become part of how his arrest will be remembered.

It's not a particularly edifying sight. Andrew is slumped in the back seat of a car after his release, fingers steepled, whether in prayer or protection.

His collar is up. For that matter, his collar has been felt. Was Andrew's expression of shock how he looked when he had a mugshot photo taken in police custody?

It'll become the counterpart of that other famous Andrew picture, taken almost 25 years ago, of a smiling confident prince, beside a 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre in a London townhouse, when the capital was his playground.

“The law must take its course,” says the Daily Express, quoting a response from King Charles on the arrest of his brother on his 66th birthday.

Andrew spent 11 hours in police custody after his arrest

"Former prince Andrew is the first royal to be held since Charles I in 1647."
