British police are searching Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's former home, the Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, for a second day. This follows his arrest and 11-hour questioning on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. The investigation centers on allegations that he sent confidential government documents to Epstein. Police also raided Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate, where Mountbatten-Windsor currently resides. He has been released under investigation, meaning he has not been charged or exonerated. The King issued a statement emphasizing that "the law must take its course." Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein.
