Was Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested 666 days after blood-soaked horses associated with the Royal Family escaped in London? Yes, that's true: The former Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on February 19, 2026. This came 666 days after a separate incident on April 24, 2024, in which five horses from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment threw their riders and ran through the British capital.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) published on X on February 20, 2026. The text in the post read:
Prince Andrew was arrested on his 66th Birthday, by 6 police officers exactly 666 days after this happened.

Both things mentioned in the social media post are true and they did happen 666 days apart, as calculated by the Time and Date website (archived here). There is no apparent link between them other than both are connected to the royal family in one way or another.
On April 24, 2024, five Household Cavalry horses, including one soaked with blood, ran loose (archived here) in central London after throwing their military riders during a morning exercise. The regiment (archived here) is ceremonial, representing King Charles III and the nation.
On February 19, 2026, UK police arrested (archived here) Mountbatten-Windsor, the younger brother of King Charles III, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Police had previously said they were reviewing claims that Andrew shared sensitive information with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while serving as an envoy.
Although not directly stated, the 666 in the post appears to imply a demonic connection. The number comes from the Book of Revelation in the Bible. It is called the "number of the beast." Many Christians believe it refers to the Antichrist or a figure that represents evil and opposition to God.
