Prince William and Kate Middleton are trying to keep calm and carry on despite the scandal surrounding the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) on suspicion of misconduct in public office, but on the red carpet at the BAFTAs this evening, the royal couple was confronted by a heckler. “Is the monarchy in peril?” one attendee asked the Prince and Princess of Wales, which they ignored.

While the Prince and Princess of Wales did not issue a statement on former Prince Andrew’s arrest, it is understood they agree with the message shared by King Charles. “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office,” King Charles wrote on Thursday. “What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.”
The King continued, “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. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.”

Prince William, Kate, and their three children reportedly were at their home Anmer Hall at Sandringham at the time of Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest. Anmer Hall, their house, is six miles away from Wood Farm, where the disgraced former prince has been living since his eviction from Royal Lodge. Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.
