A longstanding rule of this website is whenever the editor goes on holiday something major happens during that holiday and with my current holiday that rule continues. I am not sure what the dénouement of this story will be but it feels like an event that hasn’t happened in centuries, we’re used to First Ministers being arrested, we’re used to former cabinet ministers ending up in prison, but a (former) prince, nope?

The closest parallel I can think about is Sir Winston Churchill threatening to court-martial the Duke of Windsor, I suspect where Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor obtained the £12 million for his settlement with Virginia Giuffre will become a focus for the public and drag in the rest of the royals.
