thebalanced.newsUK Police Arrest Man Near Former Prince Andrew's Home Over Alleged Threat
UK police arrested a man near former Prince Andrew's Sandringham Estate home on suspicion of a public order offence and possession of an offensive weapon. The man, reportedly wearing a balaclava, allegedly threatened Andrew while he was walking his dogs. Andrew, who was accompanied by security, left the scene in his car. He was stripped of his royal titles last year amid controversies related to his ties with the late Jeffrey Epstein. The suspect remains in custody for questioning.
