Throne Out and Under Scrutiny: The Royal Family's Week in Headlines (Saturday, February 21, 2026)
Prince Andrew at the Centre of Epstein Scandal Probes
The Daily Mirror on Saturday, February 21, 2026, features the bold headline "THRONE OUT," directly above a serious portrait of Prince Andrew. Below, the "EPSTEIN SCANDAL" sub-headline sets the context for the main story. An accompanying image shows police activity, including a search of Andrew’s former Royal Lodge home, providing visual evidence of the ongoing investigation.
The newspaper reports Prince Andrew faces being removed from the line of succession, with government plans underway. Police have launched multiple probes, including questioning his former protection officers about what they witnessed concerning Jeffrey Epstein. Authorities are also investigating "Lolita Express" flights into the UK. Inside the paper, it is detailed that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on Thursday, his 66th birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office, and questioned for 11 hours. This latest development adds to the mounting pressure on the monarchy, already facing scrutiny over the King's brother's controversies. Furthermore, Lord Mandelson is also reported to be under strain from an ongoing police probe, which, inside the paper, is linked to the Epstein scandal.
