Andrew Mountbatten-Winsor isn’t the only Royal to have faced a brush with the law of varying degrees. In fact, the link between royalty and police run ins go hundreds of years back in history.The former prince has faced much scandal in the last couple of years ever since Virginia Giuffre’s sexual abuse lawsuit was levied against him, accusing him of also being closely affiliated with convicted peadophile, Jeffrey Epstein.Since then, things have only gotten worse with the release of millions of files by the US Department of Justice, which saw Andrew named and pictured countless times., with his titles stripped and even being arrested on his 66th birthday just last week (19 February), things are ramping up for the brother of the King.
But you might be shocked (or not) to know that Andrew is far from the first member of the Royal family to face legal troubles.Here is a list of all members who have been caught by the police for one reason or another:King Charles King Charles I, who reigned in the 1600s, was brought to trial in Westminster Hall on 20 January 1649, after the English civil war came to a close.t was there that he was charged with treason and tyranny, where he argued that a court did not hold authority over him and therefore, could not charge him.Well, they did, and ended up sending him to his death on 26 January, beheading him days later at the Banqueting House in Whitehall, London.
Mary, Queen of ScotsBefore King Charles I, came Queen of Scots, who was charged after being found guilty of being involved in the Babington Plot.
