Theses are the bombshell Epstein files that led to ex-Prince Andrew's arrest
By Anthony Blair 
The arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Thursday over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein is “a huge blow” to the royal family, according to experts — who say the British government must move fast to remove him from being in line for the throne.
Former Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested for alleged misconduct in public office linked to his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Police searched his former home, Royal Lodge. He remains under investigation but has not been charged.
Disgraced ex-Prince Andrew was arrested and spent 11 hours in police custody, treated like a “common criminal.” He was subjected to DNA swabs, fingerprints, and a mugshot. This marks an “extraordinary fall from grace” for the former royal, with police searching his properties.
British politicians Friday demanded disgraced former Prince Andrew be removed from the royal line of succession following his shocking arrest.
Members of Parliament are demanding an Act of Parliament in an attempt to block his spot in the line of succession. Andrew is eighth in line for the throne.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was planning to spend his 66th birthday alone at home with his seven dogs Thursday when cops swooped in and arrested him on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly passing secret documents to pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein.
He spent 11 hours in custody.
UK heir-to-the-throne Prince William and his family were staying just miles from where Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested Thursday, his 66th birthday.
William, wife Kate Middleton and their kids -- George 12, Charlotte 10, Louis, 7 -- were spending the week in Sandringham because the kids were off school for the week, according to the Sun.
The home is just six miles from Wood Farm, where cops swooped and arrested William's uncle Andrew on his 66th birthday Thursday.
The royal family was not told in advance that Andrew would be arrested.
William said Thursday that they supported his father, King Charles III, in his remarks in which the king expressed the “deepest concern" over his brother's legal drama for allegedly passing documents to Epstein.
A shellshocked ex-Prince Andrew was released by police Thursday after he was arrested over his ties to his pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein.
Photos show the disgraced ex-royal in the back of a car with a stricken expression on his face as he left the police station on Thursday.
He was arrested on the morning of his birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office over his alleged correspondence with Epstein while he was a British trade envoy.
King Charles was peppered with questions about his brother Andrew during his first public appearance since the disgraced royal was arrested over ties to Jeffrey Epstein Thursday.
"Do you have any reaction to the arrest of your brother, sir?" one woman called as Charles stepped out of a car for an engagement at London Fashion Week, according to Town and Country.
“Your Majesty, how are you feeling after your brother’s arrest?" another said.
"Have you spoken to your brother, Your Majesty?”
The king did not respond to the onslaught, but earlier issued a statement supporting the rule of UK law.
“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," he said.
‘Narcissist’ ex-Prince Andrew has always felt like a ‘victim’ prior to bombshell arrest
Ex-Prince Andrew allegedly viewed himself as a victim before he was arrested over his ties to convicted rapist Jeffrey Epstein.
“Andrew doesn’t know what the problem is,” royal expert Andrew Lownie exclusively told Page Six ahead of his shocking arrest Thursday.
“Andrew believes he’s been hard done by, he’s a victim in all of this, he’s being persecuted,” Lownie explained before noting, “He’s a narcissist and he’s never been disciplined.”

British police have continued arriving at properties tied to Andrew late Thursday, continuing the search as the disgraced former royal has been in custody for more than seven hours.
A fresh convoy of vehicles was photographed pulling into Royal Lodge, the family home that Andrew was recently forced out of over the scandal of his ties to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Other officers also remained at his current home in Sandringham several hours after first arriving to take him into custody at around 8 a.m.
Prince Andrew met up with numerous glamorous women, including a Chinese model, while on taxpayer-funded trips — with an aide sending derogatory messages and photos about the meetups to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The latest revelations from the latest Epstein files come as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor already faces a possible police investigation into allegations he used his role as a UK trade envoy to share confidential info with his pedophile pal.
One photo in the files shows Andrew at a dinner with 23-year-old Chinese model and actress Miya Muqi, while a second shows him sitting on a raft with another woman.
