I hate strawmen.

  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office

  • I don't think a trial by parliament is legal under international law?

  • The trial done by Cromwell wasn't really legal. And Cromwell isn't really the best example of democracy. It was basically a coup. It's also legal for MPs to disclose classified information in parliament.

    I think they probably would have asked the King or possibly the prime minister, especially because they entered his property to make the arrest. It would have been courtesy. Although the King stated a while ago he is co-operating, and even if he did say no, it would be an absolute PR disaster, so really he wouldn't have had any choice... Like with most things as a consititional monarch.

    It's just the idea he likely was asked by the Police and he handed his brother over.

    Although honestly I would have 100% done the same thing, whether I was a king or not.

    EDIT: The King was not informed in advance of the arrest, the BBC understands

    Guess I was completely wrong, lol

  • From what I recall, they'd most likely have probably needed to ask The King for permission to do so, who would have handed him over.
