Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, has been arrested by UK police on suspicion of misconduct in public office, authorities confirmed. The arrest reportedly follows renewed scrutiny after the release of additional material linked to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender with whom Andrew had previously acknowledged association. Police have not publicly detailed the specific allegations underlying the arrest but confirmed that the investigation remains ongoing.
Officials emphasised that an arrest does not constitute a charge and that Mountbatten-Windsor is entitled to the presumption of innocence while inquiries continue. The development marks a significant escalation in a case that has drawn international attention in recent years. No court date has been announced, and representatives for Mountbatten-Windsor have not issued a statement at the time of publication.
