Date: February 19th, 2026 8:47 AM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., Should Andrew be charged after his arrest, the legal terrain would be treacherous in ways rarely discussed publicly.
Were he to claim for example, that he had kept the King informed of any part of his conduct, the implications for the constitution would be extraordinary. Charles cannot testify in his own courts.
A prosecution could collapse before it reached the dock – much as royal butler Paul Burrell’s case imploded in 2002 when it emerged that Burrell, charged with theft, had told the Queen that he had taken some of Diana’s personal items and papers for safekeeping.
On that occasion, the Crown could not call its own monarch as a witness. The case fell apart. Those who understand how these things work have not forgotten that precedent.
