Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, better known as Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Thames Valley Police confirmed that officers arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk and are conducting searches at properties in Berkshire and Norfolk. Authorities have not formally named the suspect, but multiple outlets report the individual is Prince Andrew. Police say the investigation is ongoing.
Prince Andrew has faced years of public scrutiny, most notably over his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which led him to step back from royal duties in 2019. In 2022, he reached a financial settlement in a U.S. civil case related to abuse allegations, though he denied wrongdoing. The latest reported arrest centers on alleged misconduct in public office, though officials have not yet detailed the specific claims. Buckingham Palace has not issued a public statement.
