Prince Andrew, formerly known as Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested in Britain on Thursday by Thames Valley Police on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The arrest stems from accusations that he shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a British trade envoy. Police are searching addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk, including the Sandringham Estate where Andrew is living. The investigation follows the release of documents suggesting Andrew forwarded official reports to Epstein. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing regarding his relationship with Epstein and has also denied accusations of sexual offenses. Buckingham Palace stated they are ready to support the police investigation.
