Who is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor?

British police arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office after accusations that he shared confidential government information as a trade envoy with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender. The arrest is the latest step in a fall from grace for Mr.

Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, and has sparked the most serious crisis for the royal family in decades. He is 66, the third child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and eighth in line to the throne. Adored by his mother, he was educated at the Gordonstoun boarding school in Scotland, like his father and his older brother, King Charles III.

Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor served in the military, flying helicopter missions for the Royal Navy during the Falkland Islands War with Argentina in 1982. He remained on active duty after the war and retired from the military in 2001.
