@jon-nyc He's not a royal, strictly speaking.

Do you think that distinction might have been dispositive in marking him for arrest and prosecution rather than demotion and shaming?

That’s right, technically he’s as close to the Norwegian Royal family as is Tom Parker Bowles; Queen Camilla’s son from her first marriage. Far more distant from the throne than even Henry Tudor was when he was crowned Henry VII in 1485. Henry’s claim was pretty dodgy at best despite Richard III usurping the throne himself after allegedly having had his young nephews and sons of Edward IV, Edward V and his younger brother Richard of Shrewsbury, murdered in the Tower in 1483.
