The Duke of Sussex made the short remark while speaking to Channel 4 News during a visit to Jordan. The journalist opened the exchange by saying: “I understand you don’t wish to talk about your family, your uncle, things back in London, you’re here because you don’t want to distract from the work you’re doing on the WHO and on Gaza.”
In response, Harry admitted there had been “a lot of stuff in the news,” offering a slight smile and a quiet laugh that appeared to reference the ongoing investigation. He chose not to elaborate further and instead steered the conversation back to the purpose of his visit.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested last week at Sandringham on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was subsequently taken to Aylsham police station in Norfolk on his 66th birthday. He has denied all allegations.
King Charles III’s response
Following the arrest, King Charles III released an unusually direct and strongly worded statement.
“I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office,” the King began.
