Prince Andrew, formally known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested and later released under investigation on Thursday by British police on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The arrest is related to his links with Jeffrey Epstein, specifically allegations that he shared confidential trade information with the disgraced financier in 2010. The Thames Valley Police are assessing reports following the release of documents connected to a U.S. investigation of Epstein. The arrest is separate from previous allegations made by Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was trafficked to have sex with Prince Andrew. Police are currently searching Andrew's former stately home as the investigation continues.
