The British royal family sought to carry on with their normal duties in the hours after the former Prince Andrew was arrested.

A pedestrian passes newspapers on display with front pages featuring images of members of the royal family, outside a shop in London, Wednesday, March 10, 2021. Those tensions only built as the public waited to see how the royal family would respond. Others stand behind the royal family, criticizing the couple for making their damning allegations at a time when Harry’s 99-year-old grandfather, Prince Philip, remains hospitalized in London after a heart procedure. The revelations by Harry and Meghan were a stark contrast to the image forged after their May 2018 wedding at Windsor Castle. Bell Ribeiro-Addy, a Black member of Parliament from the opposition Labour Party, said she was disappointed the royal family planned to deal with Meghan’s allegations privately.
