EXCLUSIVE: Ex-Prince Andrew Windsor Mugshot Shocker — Anti-Royal Plotters Launch 'Big Money Bribe Plan' to Get Hands on the Cop Shot the World is Demanding to See

Dark web chatter swirls around a six-figure bid for the hidden image.

Andrew Windsor’s arrest has sparked a frenzied online campaign in which anti-royal activists are openly discussing plans to bribe British police officers with vast sums of cash to leak his custody photograph – the mugshot they claim “the world is demanding to see.”

Andrew, 66, was arrested at 8am on Thursday at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

He was driven 55 minutes to Aylsham police station, where he was questioned for nearly 12 hours before being released under investigation shortly after 7pm on Thursday.

Officers also searched his former residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park.

The allegations relate to claims that while serving as the U.K.’s special trade envoy between 2001 and 2011, Andrew shared sensitive information with his late pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein.

Shamed Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing and has not directly responded to the latest claims.

Like any suspect, he was processed in custody ahead of his marathon grilling by cops – fingerprinted, DNA swabbed, and photographed.

In the United Kingdom, however, custody images are not automatically released upon arrest, unlike in many parts of the United States.

Images like that are generally published only after conviction and sentencing, typically for serious offenses, and subject to strict data protection laws.

But, that has not stopped online agitators.

And what our source revealed about the underground push to obtain his custody photo – including how the alleged bribe would be structured and the eye-watering sums being discussed – suggests this scandal may be spiraling in ways no one at Sandringham anticipated.
