King Charles III’s younger brother Andrew arrested by British police in Epstein-related probe

King Charles III’s younger brother, the former Prince Andrew, was reportedly arrested by British authorities on Thursday in an investigation into official misconduct related to his relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.Numerous British and American news outlets reported Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his 66th birthday at his new home of Charles’ Sandringham estate in the county of Norfolk.
The arrest came two weeks after files released by the U.S. Justice Department suggested that Andrew shared confidential British government information with Epstein and others when he worked as a British trade envoy.
The Thames Valley Police confirmed a week ago it was investigating allegations against Andrew that surfaced in the DOJ- released documents, and on Thursday announced that “as part of the investigation, we have today arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office and are carrying out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk.”
The suspect “remains in police custody at this time,” the police said.
The arrest is the latest blow to Britain’s royal family after years of unflattering revelations about Andrew and his long relationship with Epstein. Andrew has always denied wrongdoing.
Nonetheless, the family was forced to strip the former prince of his royal titles.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer reacted to the latest revelations, telling the BBC shortly before the arrest that “nobody is above the law.”
Justice  “has to apply in this case in the same way it would in any other case,” Starmer said.
