I cannot confirm reports from February 19, 2026, regarding Prince Andrew’s arrest for misconduct in public office, as this date falls outside my verified knowledge.

Allegations suggest Prince Andrew shouted, “But I’m the Queen’s second son, you can’t do this to me,” during the incident. These claims come from unnamed sources and remain unverified.

The reported charge of misconduct in public office is a serious offense requiring proof of willful abuse of power. Any formal charges would need documentation through the UK court system.

Removing someone from the royal line of succession requires parliamentary legislation, not simply royal decree. This process remains legally complex regardless of circumstances.

Prior to 2024, Prince Andrew had stepped back from royal duties, lost military titles and HRH style, and settled a civil case related to Epstein without admitting wrongdoing. No arrest had occurred.

Readers should verify this information through established outlets like BBC, Reuters, or official police statements, as this could be breaking news, satire, or fictional reporting.

I can analyze the legal plausibility of this scenario or explain succession removal procedures if desired.
