Overview
- Grant Harrold, a former royal butler who served King Charles from 2004 to 2011, said Andrew was polite yet projected an 'entitled' vibe that made him avoid being in his presence.
- Harrold recounted that colleagues in the royal household rarely had positive things to say about Andrew and recalled him not speaking to staff guests at the 2005 royal wedding.
- In comments to LadBible Stories, Harrold suggested the royal household likely knew an arrest was coming, presenting this as his personal belief rather than confirmed fact.
- Thames Valley Police arrested Andrew on Feb. 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office and released him under investigation; he denies wrongdoing and has not been charged.
- Media reports say the inquiry involves claims he shared confidential trade information with Jeffrey Epstein during his time as a UK trade envoy, and the Crown Prosecution Service will advise on whether the evidence meets the charging test.
