We\u2019ve heard precious little from the former Prince Andrew<\/a> since his arrest. The disgraced royal, who is suspected of misconduct in public office and whose ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey\u00a0Epstein have been widely reported, has been lying low since he was arrested on his birthday. Andrew was released after 11 hours of interrogation and is still being investigated, with his homes and offices raided by the police.<\/p>\n But what\u2019s Andrew\u2019s strategy to avoid jail? According to RadarOnline<\/a><\/em>, he is willing to use royal secrets to protect himself. A source close to the former prince said, \u201cHe feels backed into a corner with nowhere to turn. The arrest was not just a legal shock but a profound personal humiliation. From his perspective, he has been effectively cut loose \u2013 left to manage the storm on his own while the institution closes ranks and moves forward without him.\u201d<\/p>\n More from StyleCaster<\/strong><\/p>\n Related:\u00a0<\/strong>Here\u2019s what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth<\/a><\/p>\n And he\u2019s not pleased. \u201cWatching official engagements continue uninterrupted while he was being questioned has only deepened that sense of abandonment,\u201d the insider said. \u201cAndrew cannot reconcile the idea that he alone should carry the full weight of this scrutiny. He maintains that the social and professional networks under examination were not exclusive to him.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn his view, others were present in the same environments, attended the same events, and moved in similar circles.\u201d So what\u2019s his plan? \u201cHe believes it is fundamentally unfair that he has become the singular focal point while the broader context is, as he sees it, being quietly ignored. That conviction is fueling much of his anger and his determination to push back. He could also basically use royal secrets only he knows as a bargaining chip to keep him out of jail if his case goes that far.\u201d<\/p>\n The real possibility of jail time seems to be the thing that worries Andrew<\/a> the most. \u201cHis immediate focus is self-preservation. Everything else is secondary,\u201d a source said.<\/p>\n And what he\u2019s doing threatens to shake the monarchy, and perhaps involve other influential people. \u201cAndrew is convinced that if he is required to provide a comprehensive account of his actions and life inside the royal family to investigators, it will not portray him as an isolated actor.\u201d<\/p>\n Whether that information ever becomes public or not may depend on how good a bargaining position Andrew really has. \u201cWhether it ultimately serves as a negotiating position behind closed doors or forms part of a public rebuttal is unclear. What is clear is that he has no intention of fading quietly into the background. He is preparing for a protracted fight,\u201d the source explained.<\/p>\n King Charles<\/a> released a statement right after his brother\u2019s arrest that read, \u201cI have learned with the deepest concern the news about\u00a0Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a>\u00a0and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n He added, \u201cIn this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of StyleCaster<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Stylecaster’s Newsletter<\/a>.
