UK Police Arrest Former Prince Andrew in Epstein-Linked Misconduct Probe

  • On Thursday, February 19, 2026, Thames Valley Police arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office; he remains in custody while searches continue in Berkshire and Norfolk.
  • Thames Valley Police said the probe follows an assessment of material in the Epstein Files and examines whether he shared confidential trade reports with Jeffrey Epstein, including emails from 2010.
  • Emails released earlier this month show a November 2010 forward sent within five minutes and a Christmas Eve 2010 brief, while Crown Prosecution Service specialists and the National Crime Agency assist police.
  • Campaigners signalled they would continue legal work and provide evidence, with Republic CEO Graham Smith saying `Make no mistake, this is a result of Republic's action` and urging further police cooperation.
  • King Charles III divested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of royal styles last year, and Andrew recently moved to the Sandringham Estate, Norfolk, while investigators say other senior royals may be material witnesses.
