Prince Andrew Arrested Over Alleged Misconduct In Public Office

Prince Andrew has been arrested and is currently in custody over allegations of misconduct in public office.

Police officers are conducting searches at properties in Berkshire and Norfolk, including the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, where he had been residing until recently. Vehicles believed to be police cars were also seen entering the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk earlier today.

King Charles III reacted to the development, saying he “learned with the deepest concern” of Andrew’s arrest and stressing that “the law must take its course”.

The arrest follows a statement from Thames Valley Police confirming they were reviewing a complaint concerning the alleged disclosure of confidential material by the former royal to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew, who marks his 66th birthday today, has consistently denied any wrongdoing connected to Epstein.
