President Donald Trump<\/a> <\/strong>has weighed in on the arrest<\/strong> of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the disgraced former British royal known as Prince Andrew<\/strong>. Trump is calling the situation \u201cvery sad\u201d and damaging to the monarchy.<\/p>\n Addressing reporters aboard Air Force One while traveling to Georgia, Donald Trump expressed sympathy for the British royal family. \u201cI think it\u2019s a shame.\u201d Further adding, \u201cI think it\u2019s very sad. I think it\u2019s so bad for the royal family. It\u2019s very, very sad.\u201d<\/p>\n The president\u2019s remarks came shortly after news broke of ex-Prince Andrew\u2019s arrest<\/a>. The British authorities arrested the former prince on the morning of February 19, which was also his birthday. Police arrested him on suspicion of misconduct in public office over alleged correspondence with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during Andrew\u2019s time as a British trade envoy.<\/p>\n Authorities also searched multiple addresses on the royal estates in Windsor and Sandringham, where Andrew had been residing after recently being forced to leave the Royal Lodge. Additionally, the arrest represents an unprecedented moment in British history, as members of the royal family typically remain beyond such legal scrutiny. Andrew, who maintains his position as eighth in line to the throne, could face life imprisonment if convicted.<\/p>\n Despite the controversy surrounding ex-Prince Andrew, Trump took time to talk about his relationship with King Charles III, who is set to visit the United States this summer for the nation\u2019s 250th birthday celebration. \u201cHe\u2019s a fantastic man, king,\u201d Trump said. He further reflected on his September state visit to the United Kingdom. Back then, he received a grand state dinner at Windsor Castle. Trump said he thanked King Charles for what he called \u201cone of the highest honors of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n Furthermore, Donald Trump used the moment to reiterate his distance from Epstein. He reminded reporters that he has never faced charges related to the disgraced financier. \u201cI\u2019ve been totally exonerated. I did nothing, in fact, the opposite. He was against me. He was fighting me in the election which I just found out throughout the last three million pages of documents (via celebrity.land<\/a>).\u201d<\/p>\n The investigation is still ongoing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.mandatory.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Donald Trump has weighed in on the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the disgraced former British royal known as Prince Andrew.
