Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor marked his birthday in handcuffs.

On February 19, the U.K.'s Thames Valley Police confirmed they had "arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office." The authorities did not name the individual, but multiple news outlets later confirmed the suspect was the disgraced royal - who turned 66 on the very day of his arrest.

But before Andrew's latest legal turmoil, the royal family has long been shadowed by controversy, plagued by repeated legal troubles involving its members.

King Charles I

Four centuries before Andrew was marched off in cuffs, King Charles I was shackled and tried in Westminster Hall after the Royalists were defeated during the English Civil War. He was convicted of treason and tyranny before he was ultimately beheaded outside the Banqueting House in Whitehall, central London, in 1649.

King Edward VII

Queen Victoria's eldest son, Edward VII, was questioned in court as a witness during the "salacious" trial of the royal baccarat scandal in 1890. At the time, his former close friend, Lieutenant Colonel Sir William Gordon-Cumming, was accused of cheating.

He later appeared before the High Court as a key witness for the defense, and the high-profile case ultimately left his reputation in tatters.

Princess Anne

Princess Anne was only 21 when she was given a written warning after being caught speeding at up to 90 miles per hour on the M1 in November 1978. Five years later, she was fined at Alfreton magistrates' court for driving at 96 miles per hour in a 70 miles per hour limit in Derbyshire.

In 1990, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's only daughter flouted road safety rules again and admitted to two speeding offences as "she had been late for an engagement," which resulted in $200 fine. More than a decade later, she was convicted of speeding in her Bentley for driving 93 miles per hour in a 70 miles per hour zone.

Then, in 2002, Princess Anne became the first member of the modern royal family to be convicted of a criminal offense when she pleaded guilty under the Dangerous Dogs Act after her then-three-year-old bull terrier named Dotty bit two children in Windsor Great Park. She was not arrested but paid around $670 in fines and $336 in compensation.
