Fox News Digital understands that the Prince and Princess of Wales support the King’s statement following Andrew’s arrest.

Shortly after Andrew’s arrest, King Charles released a statement emphasizing that the Palace is prepared to fully cooperate with authorities.

“I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities,” Charles said in a statement released by Buckingham Palace.

“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.”

Royal photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital that former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest on his 66th birthday sensationalizes the case.

“This is the most incredible series of events,” Chard told Fox News Digital. “However, expected, and Andrew’s arrest on his birthday planned, making it all the more sensational… playing out like a film.”

It’s unclear whether King Charles III was pre-warned about Andrew’s arrest, but Chard said “it’s not by chance that the arrest has taken place on Andrew’s unjolly 66th birthday.”

“They say that no one can take your birthday away from you however the Met. Police have endeavored to do this to Andrew and have quite possibly succeeded!” she said.

Chard said it was “totally unprecedented” that the king had released two public statements within a week on the matter.

“The public may feel slight sympathy for the King, as the avalanche of revelations continues to shake confidence in the monarchy’s future stability,” she said. “Not a good look… almost viewed as a laughing stock.”

The former prince was arrested Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office but has yet to be charged.

“Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s standing and credibility is totally shot and as events unravel he will be looking at how he can save face and all his options going forward… possibly a runner to the Middle East where he won’t be shunned, reuniting with Fergie and living a hunky dory life,” Chard said.

Chard cautioned, “We have to be mindful that at this time everything is suspicions and allegations. Andrew has strenuously denied any wrongdoing and is innocent until proven otherwise.”

King Charles’ strategy to contain the fallout surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is unraveling, multiple royal experts told Fox News Digital before the fallen prince was reportedly arrested Feb. 18 on his 66th birthday.

The monarch is said to be increasingly concerned that more accusations about his brother’s connection to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could soon come to light.

“The road is narrowing for Andrew as unprecedented bombshell revelations drop daily,” British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital.

“There is an air of chaos as King Charles is also seemingly being pushed down this narrowing road,” she shared.

“The public is calling for accountability, and it seems the royal family can’t get ahead of the curve, let alone on top of the current public outcry. As King Charles endures a verbal battering, being thrown into the pot of blame, many wonder if he can read the room.”

This is an excerpt of an article written by Fox News Digital’s Stephanie Nolasco and Ashley Papa.

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown says he has submitted new Epstein file information to police

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown told the BBC he has sent a five-page letter to multiple UK police forces — including the Metropolitan Police, Sussex Police and Thames Valley Police — outlining what he describes as new and additional material from the Epstein files.

According to the outlet, Brown said the latest information builds on material he provided to authorities last week, when he said he had “expressed my concern that we secure justice for trafficked girls and women.”
