Good Morning Britain paused its Monday, February 23 broadcast, hosted by Ed Balls and Susanna Reid, to highlight Prince William’s candid remark about Prince Andrew’s arrest.
Prince Andrew’s Recent Arrest
The former Duke of York faces arrest on suspicion of misconduct in a public office, following his detention last Thursday. The development continues to lead major headlines.
William’s BAFTA Appearance
Prince William, 43, and Princess Kate, 44, attended the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday evening amid the ongoing scandal. When questioned about viewing the film Hamnet, William responded, “No. I haven’t seen it. I need to be in a calm state for that and I’m not at the moment.”
Royal Family’s Role in Investigation
King Charles plans to support the police probe by granting access to pertinent files. Prince Andrew benefited from royal protection officers at the time, and the former head of royal protection stresses the need for closer scrutiny of this matter.
Calls for Formal Inquiry
Members of Parliament increasingly demand a judge-led inquiry into Andrew’s service as the UK’s trade envoy.
