Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate on Thursday by Thames Valley Police on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The arrest is connected to investigations into his dealings with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Police are also conducting searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk. The investigation follows a review of allegations, including claims that Mountbatten-Windsor shared sensitive information with Epstein and that a woman was trafficked to the UK for a sexual encounter with him. Mountbatten-Windsor, who has consistently denied any wrongdoing, was stripped of his royal titles by Buckingham Palace in October. Thames Valley Police confirmed they are investigating the allegations.
