Norfolk Police meticulously planned the arrest of Prince Andrew for days, timing it for his birthday and ensuring operational secrecy through a nationwide IT system shutdown. Approximately 50 minutes from Sandringham, the Aylsham Police Investigation Centre was unusually quiet, with staff instructed to stay away, and Andrew was reportedly the sole individual processed that morning. This operation, described as "police work without fear or favor," underscores the principle that no one is above the law. During his nine-hour interrogation, Andrew was served Yorkshire Tea, a brand holding a royal warrant from his brother, King Charles. The former Duke of York, currently eighth in line to the throne, appeared visibly distressed upon leaving the station.
