Prince Rupert

Count Rupert (now Prince Rupert) was one of the suspects in the murder investigation of his cousin, Prince Albert in God Save the Prince (Case #1 of World Edition).

Profile
Rupert is a 20-year-old count who was next in line for the throne after Albert. He wears a white polo shirt with a red paper poppy and a red neckerchief. It is known that Rupert drinks tea, rides horses, quotes Shakespeare, and plays polo.

Role in Case(s)
Rupert was first interrogated after his crest was found on the primary crime scene where Albert was killed. He was shocked to hear that Albert was killed, wondering who would want to harm him. Rupert then became delighted to hear that with Albert dead, he would be the next heir to the throne. Jack Archer pointed out it would make him a prime suspect, but Rupert replied saying it was a bunch of poppycock.

Jack and the player spoke with Rupert again after finding a picture of him and the victim. He explained that he and Albert were not on the best of terms, that he would constantly bully him. Jack said that its to be expected with them being cousins and all, but Rupert said that with him being royal he demanded respect. Later on, he appeared at The Bureau's headquarters and demanded that Jack and the player be arrested. However, Armand Dupont showed up to inform the count that they are not to be arrested until sunset by law. Rupert had no choice and held off their arrest, allowing them to continue investigating.

Despite being a strong suspect, Rupert was discovered to be innocent after the team incarcerated Enid Grimshaw. And the arrest he was going to make was stopped by The Queen, who said they did not deserve to be arrested after solving the Prince's murder. But Rupert was still causing trouble as he went missing after the investigation. He was found in the theater, hiding from his grandmother and searching for his mobile phone. Jack and the team eventually found the phone, and an analysis from Elliot Clayton revealed he was given £1 million by Archibald Gilchrist. Rupert explained that he was given the bribe because Archibald wanted him to support a yes vote in some referendum. He said he did not know what the referendum was about, and that cares for money not politics. He requested that they do not tell the Queen about it, but in return he would begin acting like a proper Prince.
