If anyone is enjoying Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's viral arrest photo, it's John Oliver.
The British-American comedian and host of Last Week Tonight with John Oliverappeared as a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday night, where he talked about why he loves Mountbatten-Windsor's viral arrest photo so much.
The former Duke of York was arrested at King Charles III's Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England, on Thursday morning, the day of his 66th birthday, under suspicion of misconduct while serving in public office related to his ties with Jeffrey Epstein.
11 hours later, Mountbatten-Windsor was released from the Aylsham Police Station in Norfolk, and a photo of the former Prince sitting in the backseat of a car was taken, which went viral on the Internet.

Oliver, who is a huge critic of The Royal Family, stated on Late Night that he was "so glad [the arrest] happened," while Meyers proceeded to take out the viral photo of the former Prince looking shocked in the car.
"I think it might be one of the best photos ever taken," exclaimed Oliver, who also spoke about the photo on Sunday's episode of his talk show. "You know, towards the end of the year, they do kind of a photo of the year. And it's often like a frog leaping off a lily pad, or you know, an eagle in flight with something in its mouth. Sure. Is it gonna be better than that?"

That means somehow, you can get kind of get cameras to shoot the Windsor Family at their worst moments so beautifully. That thousand-yard stare with Dr. Evil hands. There's nothing I don't love about it."
Meyers then compared the photo to "a vampire going back into the coffin," then recreating the photo himself, which caused Oliver and the audience to laugh.
"What's been so confounding about the Epstein Files is seeing people who feel they're untouchable, not being touched," Oliver concluded. I think seeing someone like that, in that position, is why I love that image so much. I think it's high art."
Late Night with Seth Meyers airs live on NBC every weekday at 12:35 am ET, then is released on Peacock the next day. Meanwhile, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver can be streamed on HBO Max and Hulu.
