In 1995, Diana sat down for a tell-all solo interview and talked about Charles' affair.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
For centuries, the British royal family has cultivated an image of duty and decorum. As public figures, they've also had their share of scandals.
Forbidden romances, tabloid firestorms, and allegations of misconduct have rocked the House of Windsor over the years.
Here's a look at some of the biggest scandals involving royal family members.
King Edward VIII rejected the crown in 1936 so he could marry a divorced American woman.

Directly after his father died in 1936, Edward VIII took the throne. Less than a year later, he renounced it.
That's because he had fallen hard for Wallis Simpson, an American socialite who'd already been divorced once and was working through her second. His proposal of marriage caused social and political uproar, since the Church of England technically forbade Edward from marrying someone who'd been divorced. Eventually, Edward was forced to abdicate.
"I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as King [...] without the help and support of the woman I love," he said in a radio address to the nation in December 1936.
Edward and Simpson married in 1937 and stayed together until Edward's death in 1972. (And she wasn't the only commoner who married into royalty.)
Princess Margaret fell in love with a married man.

Captain Peter Townsend was a Royal Air Force officer who served as an equerry — essentially an attendant to the royal family. He spent a great deal of time with Margaret, and before long, the two fell in love. The only problem was that he was married.
Things got even more scandalous in 1953 when Townsend divorced his wife and proposed to Margaret, but the rules of the Church of England forbade such a marriage. (After all, Margaret's uncle Edward VIII had to relinquish the throne in order to marry a divorcee.)
The relationship came to a heartbreaking close in 1955 when they called off the engagement. There was simply no way for Captain Townsend and Princess Margaret to have a happy ending.
Her eventual marriage to a different man ended in a high-profile divorce.

Not long after calling things off with Townsend, Margaret married photographer Anthony Armstrong Jones. It was the first royal wedding to ever be televised.
A few years later, their union became a source of "growing public ridicule," The New York Times reported. They fought in public, Margaret took long vacations without her husband, and rumors swirled around her close friendship with a man 17 years her junior.
In 1976, the couple announced their separation, and two years later, they were officially divorced. Margaret became the first royal to divorce since Henry VIII, who reigned way back in the 1500s.
Princess Diana and an alleged lover were secretly recorded on the phone.

In 1992 — while then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana were still married — media outlets published the transcript of a conversation between Diana and an alleged lover named James Gilbey. In the conversation, Gilbey told Diana that he loved her and called her by the pet name "Squidgy" 53 times. That's how the scandal earned the memorable moniker "Squidgygate."
Later, in an interview, Diana confirmed that the conversation was real, but denied that it was adulterous in nature.
The same thing happened to Diana's husband, Charles.

Not long after Diana's leaked phone call, Charles, Queen Elizabeth's oldest son, had one of his own.
An Australian magazine published the transcript of a call between Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles — a longtime married friend. The transcript all but confirmed what many rumors had postulated: That Charles and Camilla were romantically involved.
In one of the more confounding parts of the conversation, the couple joked about Charles turning into a tampon in order to "live inside" Camilla's trousers.
Later that year, Charles and Diana announced their separation.
Then Diana gave a bombshell TV interview, and the marriage collapsed for good.

In 1995, Diana sat down for a tell-all solo interview with journalist Martin Bashir to talk about the immense pressures of public life and her struggles with self-harm, postpartum depression, and bulimia. She also revealed that she knew about Charles' affair with Camilla. ("There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded," she famously quipped.) And Diana even admitted that she'd been unfaithful to Charles, saying that she had been "in love" with James Hewitt, her riding instructor.
The BBC interview itself has since come under scrutiny. An article in the Sunday Times in 2020 alleged that Bashir manipulated Diana into doing the interview by showing her brother, Charles Spencer, fake bank statements that purported to show the media had been paying royal associates for information about her. A 2021 inquiry concluded that Bashir acted in a "deceitful" way, and the BBC and Bashir apologized.
A few weeks after the interview, the Queen herself urged her son and daughter-in-law to divorce, and the following year, they made it official. Charles and Camilla, on the other hand, wed in 2005 and are still together.
Princess Anne divorced her husband and married a member of the royal staff.

Princess Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II, married Olympic equestrian Mark Phillips in 1973. The couple spent large swaths of time apart and didn't appear to be happy — People magazine described the marriage as a "joyless sham."
Then, in spring 1989, a British newspaper obtained stolen copies of letters written to Anne by one of her equerries, a British naval officer named Timothy Laurence. Though the content of the letters wasn't made public, tabloids described them as "extremely intimate" and "too hot to handle."
In 1992, Anne announced that she was divorcing Phillips, and that she planned to marry Laurence. The two have been together ever since.
Paparazzi caught Sarah Ferguson in a compromising "toe-licking" incident.

Sarah Ferguson (popularly known as "Fergie") married Queen Elizabeth's son, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, in 1986.
Six years later, scandal erupted: Paparazzi photographers captured Fergie vacationing with an American financial advisor named John Bryan. In one photo — an image quickly plastered on the front page of The Sun — Bryan appeared to be licking Fergie's foot.
Things didn't go very well after that. Fergie and Andrew separated in 1992, the same year as Charles and Diana, and divorced in 1996.
Later, Fergie was accused of taking a $633,000 bribe.

Fergie's marital drama didn't end after the divorce. In 2010, a News of the World journalist posed as a businessman and said he got Fergie to accept a £500,00 (about $633,000) bribe in exchange for access to her ex-husband, The Guardian reported.
A video recording of their meeting was released to the media, and Fergie later apologized, saying she'd made a "serious lapse in judgment," Reuters reported.

After admitting to his father that he'd tried marijuana, a 17-year-old Prince Harry spent a day at the Featherstone Lodge rehabilitation center in London, The Telegraph reported.
A statement from the royal family said Harry had agreed to visit the clinic "to learn about the possible consequences of starting to take cannabis."
He was also photographed wearing a Nazi costume.

In January 2005, British paper The Sun published a front-page photo of Harry wearing a Nazi armband, apparently at a costume party.
The prince, who was 20 at the time, quickly released a statement of apology that read: "Prince Harry has apologised for any offence or embarrassment he has caused. He realises it was a poor choice of costume."
In 2012, Harry got naked at a private party in Las Vegas, and someone leaked the photos to The Sun.

The British tabloid published the naked photos of the prince in 2012, which were taken by another party-goer during a game of strip billiards in his hotel suite.
According to an anonymous source who was in attendance, the prince's security team appeared to be aware that people were taking photos.
"No one asked for our phones or anything about us when we arrived at the party," the source told The Sun. "It was obvious people were taking pictures."
That same year, Closer Magazine published a photo of Kate Middleton sunbathing topless on its cover.

At the time the pictures were taken, Prince William and Kate Middleton were staying in a private holiday home owned by the Queen's nephew, Viscount Linley.
After the couple won a lawsuit against the company, Closer was ordered to pay $118,000 in damages to William and Kate in 2017.

Thomas Markle's no-show at the royal wedding was thought to be due to his poor health, as he suffered a heart attack just days before Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot in Windsor back in May 2018.
However, in the year that followed, Thomas and the duchess appeared to have a strained relationship, with Thomas even speaking out against his daughter in several interviews with British tabloids.
In 2011, Andrew resigned from his job because of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew served as the UK's trade envoy from 2001 through 2011, when he stepped down due to mounting criticism over some of his personal relationships, the BBC reported. Namely, he was close friends with American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
This would not be the end of the matter, however.
He stepped back from his royal duties altogether in 2019 after new allegations surfaced regarding his relationship with Epstein, culminating in a disastrous BBC interview.

Virginia Giuffre, pictured with Andrew above, accused Epstein of forcing her to have sex with the prince when she was just 17 years old in 2001.
The allegations from a 2015 defamation case resurfaced in the media as the case became unsealed. Andrew denied the claims, and a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace "emphatically denied" the allegations in an August 2019 statement provided to Business Insider.
Four days after a catastrophic interview with "BBC Newsnight" where he spoke about his friendship with Epstein, Andrew announced he would step down from his royal duties.
Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
Giuffre died by suicide in 2025.
Meghan Markle launched a lawsuit against British newspaper the Mail on Sunday after it published a private letter she wrote to her father.

Markle sued the publication over the misuse of private information, infringement of copyright, and breach of the Data Protection Act 2018 after it published excerpts from the letter earlier this year. She won the lawsuit in 2021.
"I share this victory with each of you — because we all deserve justice and truth, and we all deserve better," Markle said in a statement.
A judge later rejected the publisher's application for permission to appeal but said it can take the application to the Court of Appeals. The publisher, Associated Newspapers, said it would.
After months of rumors, Harry and Markle announced they were taking a "step back" from royal life in 2020.

The announcement said they "intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen." They also wrote that they would split their time between North America and the UK.
The royal communications office followed up with a statement of their own.
"Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage," the Queen's statement read. "We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through."
The couple carried out their last official royal engagement at the annual Commonwealth Day service in London in March 2020. They later bought a home in California.
In March 2021, Markle and Harry gave a tell-all interview to Oprah Winfrey about their rift with the royal family, revealing one bombshell after another.

The two-hour primetime special was full of stunning revelations.
Markle told Winfrey that Kate Middleton made her cry the week of her wedding over a flower girl dress and not the other way around, as had been reported in tabloids. She also said members of the royal family had "concerns and conversations" about how dark Archie's skin would be before he was born, and The Firm told them that Archie wouldn't receive a title or security, breaking from protocol.
She also opened up about having suicidal thoughts amid constant tabloid criticism and racism, and said a senior member of the royal institution wouldn't let her seek help.
Harry revealed that his family cut him off financially in the first quarter of 2020, and that Charles stopped taking his phone calls before they announced they were stepping back from the royal family. He also said that it hurts that the royal family never acknowledged tabloids' racist treatment of Markle, and that none of the royal family members have reached out to apologize for the reasons he felt he had to leave.
Following the interview, Buckingham Palace released a statement on behalf of the Queen.
"The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan," the statement read.
"The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.
"Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always be much loved family members."
Before the interview aired, Buckingham Palace announced they were investigating claims that Markle bullied members of the royal staff — but no such investigations had been publicly made into Andrew's involvement with Epstein.

The Times of London reported that Markle bullied two senior staff members during her time with the royal family.
Buckingham Palace released a statement days before Markle and Harry's tell-all interview, saying that they were "very concerned" about the allegations, and that their HR team was investigating the claims.
A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex denied the claims to The Times, saying that the allegations were intended to undermine Prince Harry and Markle's interview with Oprah, calling it a "calculated smear campaign."
While the palace launched an investigation into allegations that Markle bullied royal staff, no such investigations were publicly made by the palace when Andrew faced scrutiny over his involvement with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Royal biographers accused the palace of having double standards.
Andrew was stripped of his royal patronages and military titles and faced a lawsuit as a private citizen instead of a royal.

In August 2021, Virginia Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Andrew, accusing him of sexual assault.
She alleged that Epstein forced her to have sex with Andrew in his New York mansion, in London, and on Epstein's private island in the US Virgin Islands in 2001 when she was 17.
The day after US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan said the duke's motion to dismiss Giuffre's lawsuit was "denied in all respects," Buckingham Palace released a statement announcing that Andrew would no longer hold his royal patronages and military titles.
"With The Queen's approval and agreement, The Duke of York's military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to The Queen," a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace said in a statement sent to Business Insider in 2022. "The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen."
In 2022, Andrew and Giuffre reached a settlement for an undisclosed amount.
Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office as police opened an investigation into his ties to Epstein.

Andrew was arrested at his home in Sandringham, Norfolk, on February 19 and was released from police custody several hours later. An investigation is ongoing.
The Justice Department's Epstein files revealed additional communications between Andrew and Epstein when the former prince was a UK trade envoy. Police conducted searches of his Sandringham home and at his former home in Windsor, Berkshire.
"I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office," Charles said in a statement. "What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities."
The king's statement continued: "In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all."

Red card for Juve's Kalulu was clear mistake says referees' chief
(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 16 - Italy's referees selector Gianluca Rocchi has admitted that the decision to send off Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu for a second yellow card in his side's 3-2 defeat to Serie A leaders Inter at San Siro on Saturday was a clear mistake amid a massive furore over the decision.
Kalulu was given a second booking by referee Federico La Penna for a foul on Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni, although TV replays showed that Bastoni dived.
The Italy centre-back then went on to celebrate getting his opponent red-carded with his team mates to boot.
The VAR was unable to do anything because the protocol does not allow it to intervene with second yellow cards, only direct red cards.
"We are very sorry about this episode," Rocchi told ANSA via telephone on Sunday, "about La Penna's decision, which was clearly wrong, and about the fact that we were unable to use VAR to correct it.
"La Penna is mortified and we are supportive of him.
"But I have to tell you the truth - he is not the only one who made a mistake because yesterday there was a clear simulation.
"It is latest in a long series in a championship in which they try in every way to screw us".
Bastoni and his wife closed comments on their social media profiles after being hit by a wave of insults and threats following the incident.
"Poor child that has a such a disgusting father," read one comment on a family photo posted on Instagram.
"It'll be so beautiful when you die together with your children," said another.
Saturday's victory keeps Inter eight points clear of second-placed AC Milan, who won 2-1 at Pisa on Friday and have a game in hand.
Champions Napoli are third with 50 points, 11 behind Inter, and AS Roma are fourth with 47 after the two sides battled out a 2-2 draw in Naples on Sunday.
Juventus are one point further back in fifth. (ANSA).
