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

  • On Thursday, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested at Sandringham Estate and is in police custody, Thames Valley Police confirmed on Thursday.
  • Thames Valley Police opened an inquiry after receiving a complaint alleging he shared material with Jeffrey Epstein, following scrutiny after three million pages from the Epstein Files were released and examined by the National Crime Agency.
  • At around 8am, at least six unmarked vehicles carrying eight plain-clothes officers with police laptops arrived at Wood Farm, and searches are under way at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk, police said.
  • Thames Valley Police warned it must protect the integrity of the investigation and will update the public at the right time; the arrested man remains in police custody while Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged `nobody is above the law`.
  • Earlier, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor settled a 2022 civil claim with Virginia Giuffre after stepping back from duties following a 2019 BBC interview, amid prior scrutiny.
