Oh dear, it looks like Andrews problems are not going to go away - in fact they're getting worse.

When I did UK law, only the monarch him or herself was above the law, held by a case way back in the 15th or 16th century (IO think - have to look it up). 

 

Be interesting to see if that actually holds. 

 

Of course, just because someone wrote something happened donb't mean it did, or in the context it was written. 

 

But, I wonder if any pedo cases are coming his way (and I don't know if he is implicated in indulging in sex with an underage person), because another quirk of UK law is that it applies everywhere in the world. So, as a UK citizen, if you commit an offence under UK law in another country where whatever you did is not an offience, then you can still be liable for that offence in the UK. It was intorduced to stop mutiny I believe.

The last Royal to be arrested was Charles 1st in 1649. He was convicted of treason and lost his head. I wonder what Andrew will be charged with.
