UK's chief prosecutor says Royals like Andrew are not above the law
"The UK's top prosecutor has warned nobody is above the law as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor faces a police probe over alleged leaks to Jeffrey Epstein. Stephen Parkinson, the director of public prosecutions, said no, of course not when asked whether he thought the Royals were above the law. He added that he has total confidence the police will be independent. It comes as Thames Valley Police examine claims that Andrew shared confidential reports while in his role as the UK's trade envoy with the paedophile financier."
"Speaking to The Sunday Times, he said: Nobody is above the law...It's my job to enforce the law, and I do so without fear or favour, and that is unaffected by the status of the individual concerned. The warning from Mr Parkinson comes as evidence of the former prince's alleged involvement with Epstein has mounted, with more revelations published in the latest tranche of Epstein files."
