Andrew’s Arrest a Blow for British Monarchy; Will Be Very Serious if Convicted: Lionel Barber
In an interview to discuss the arrest of former Prince Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in public office and its implications and consequences for the British monarchy, the former Editor of the Financial Times, Lionel Barber, has said this is a blow for the monarchy and it will become a very serious if Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is charged and convicted. However, Barber said that King Charles has done enough to distance the monarchy as an institution from the former Prince and there is no danger of Britain becoming a Republic.
“Look, it’s taken a blow and if he’s charged and found guilty it will be a very serious blow but I think King Charles has done enough to distance the monarchy from Andrew and if they carry on in the way that they do there is no question of us turning into a republic or anything like that.”
