William and Kate attend BAFTAs amid Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrest scandal
Their appearance at the BAFTAs comes amid a turbulent time for the royal family following Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s recent arrest.
William’s uncle, Andrew, was arrested on February 19 in Sandringham on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The specific details of the allegations of misconduct being investigated are unknown.
I need to be in quite a calm state and I’m not at the moment.
In recent weeks, Andrew has been under intense scrutiny over his past association with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
At the end of January, the US Department of Justice released more than three million files relating to Epstein and his crimes.
Allegations against Andrew
Within these files, emails allegedly showed that Andrew may have shared sensitive documents with Epstein via email when he was UK’s trade envoy.
In 2010, according to the files, Andrew allegedly forwarded official reports from trade visits to Epstein.
Under official guidance, trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive, commercial, or political information.
Hours after his arrest last week, police released Andrew under investigation.
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. This arrest should not be seen as any indication of guilt and no charges have been announced.
