#AndrewMountbattenWindsor is being investigated for "Misconduct in Public Office" (#MiPO) as a Trade Envoy.

The #CPS explains the #CommonLaw offence of MiPO at https://bit.ly/CPS-MiPO. Lord Charlie Falconer adds extra detail on #TRiP episide 503 at https://youtu.be/sfug2y5NFMs?t=284s : being an active Prince would not count as a "public office" for these purposes, because the duties are not clearly defined.

This is a massive constitutional loophope. All #workingRoyals should be legally accountable.
