There Have Been 59 Royal Arrests in UK History – Charles I Was Not the Last Before Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was questioned for 11 hours and released under investigation after alleged leaks of confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein.
- On February 19, 2026, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly His Royal Highness the Prince Andrew, Duke of York, was arrested by Thames Valley Police on suspicion of misconduct in public office on his 66th birthday.
- As Britain’s special trade envoy from 2001 to 2011, Andrew is accused of sharing confidential government documents with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which surfaced in over three million pages released by the United States Department of Justice.
- Held in custody and later released under investigation, Andrew denied wrongdoing after an eleven-hour interview at Aylsham Police Station, Norfolk, marking a first for a senior royal.
- King Charles III acted swiftly, stripping Andrew of all titles and evicting him from Royal Lodge at Windsor, while the King said `the law must take its course` and Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie held crisis talks.
- Questions about what the intelligence services knew have intensified as observers ask what MI5 and MI6 knew and when, while scrutiny has widened to Peter Mandelson and Virginia Giuffre’s death last year adds urgency.
