Andrew, meanwhile, was stripped of his royal titles <\/a>and kicked out of his Royal Lodge home\u00a0after facing allegations that he was a client of convicted rapist Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>, who died in 2019.<\/p>\n

At the time, he maintained his innocence, denying any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 19, Andrew was arrested on his birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office and was accused of sending Epstein confidential trade documents while working for the British trade envoy from 2001 to 2011.<\/p>\n

He can face up to life in prison if he is convicted.<\/p>\n

Charles\u00a0expressed his support for the investigation<\/a> via a statement, writing, \u201cThe law must take its course.\u201d<\/p>\n

The scandal has also led Ferguson, who has maintained close ties with Andrew, to be homeless<\/a>\u00a0and to stay with friends after they lost their royal home<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, have also been impacted and\u00a0\u201chorrified\u201d by the allegations<\/a> against their father.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, were excluded from the royal family\u2019s Easter celebration following his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":874243,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7708],"tags":[173775,228101,4082,2204,5105,7710,519,448,7717,24392],"class_list":["post-874242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-royals","tag-andrew-mountbatten-windsor","tag-celebrity-arrests","tag-celebrity-news","tag-jeffrey-epstein","tag-royal","tag-royal-families","tag-royal-family","tag-royals","tag-sarah-ferguson","tag-scandals"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116353613547866376","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/874242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=874242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/874242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/874243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=874242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=874242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=874242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
