In England, it seems, nobody is above the law.
The artist formerly known as Prince Andrew, but now described by Thames Valley Police as "a man in his 60s," became "the first senior British royal" arrested for nearly 400 years.
Despite the fact that then-Prince Andrew drew "global infamy and revulsion over accusations that he raped a teenager in 2001," his good buddy Donald, a man in his 70s, was more than happy to invite him to play golf at Turnberry as recently as 2018.
Even today, "Prince Andrew" still appears as one of the famous visitors listed on the Trump Turnberry website.
For some reason, Trump has never faced the same kind of "global infamy and revulsion" over accusations that he also raped teenagers in the company of Jeffrey Epstein.
In July 2024, in an article titled "Trump Deserves the Royal Treatment," I explored how different things might have been if the US media had treated Trump the same way the UK media treated Prince Andrew.

They both partied with Epstein. Shouldn’t “King” Donald receive the same level of scrutiny as Prince Andrew?

Instead, for decades, The New York Times and others insisted on treating Trump more like a celebrity than a Royal.
In February 2024, I compared the treatment of Trump to UK television personality Jimmy Savile.
As I noted in that 2024 article, The Queen knighted Jimmy Savile 14 years after he sexually assaulted audience member Sylvia Edwards live on air.
In November 2024, America chose to ignore all the evidence of Trump's own sex crimes — including his own taped confessions.
Having avoided the same kind of press scrutiny that Prince Andrew endured, Trump kept his worst secrets hidden deep within the Epstein Files and proved to the world that he could rape someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a single vote.
