Summary
A man in his sixties has been arrested in Norfolk. The mundanity of the police statement belies the monumental significance of what just happened.

The arrest centres around the alleged exchange of confidential emails between him and Epstein in his role as trade envoy. What happens now to the former royal, and to the family that’s trying so hard to distance themselves from him?
