Sunday’s newspapers continue to focus heavily on the repercussions following Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s recent arrest on charges related to misconduct in public office. The Sunday Mirror highlights an explosive claim from the Royal Family’s former head of protection, who alleges there was a deliberate “conspiracy of silence” regarding Prince Andrew’s ties to the disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. These allegations have sparked demands for a formal inquiry aimed at uncovering “who knew what and when,” reflecting ongoing concerns about accountability within royal circles.
