Former UK Prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was arrested on February 19, 2026, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Thames Valley police confirmed the arrest of a man in his sixties from Norfolk and are searching addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk. The police statement did not name the arrested man, citing national guidance and the active status of the case. The investigation follows an allegation of misconduct in public office. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that no one is above the law and that Mountbatten Windsor should cooperate with US authorities. Mountbatten Windsor was stripped of his title last year due to his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
