Members of Britain’s royal family are not above the law, the country’s top prosecutor said on Sunday, as police investigate former Prince Andrew over allegations he leaked information to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Thames Valley Police said last week it was in discussions with the Crown Prosecution Service over allegations of misconduct in public office against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of King Charles III.
“Nobody is above the law,” Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Parkinson told the Sunday Times. The prosecutor added he had “total confidence” that police would act independently and dismissed suggestions that the monarchy would receive special treatment.
