UK Police Arrest Former Prince Andrew in Epstein-Linked Misconduct Probe

  • Thames Valley Police arrested Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor at his Sandringham home today on suspicion of misconduct in public office, and confirmed an investigation was opened.
  • Police say the arrest follows an inquiry into alleged 2010 disclosure of trade reports to Jeffrey Epstein after millions of U.S. Department of Justice documents were released, with Republic and CEO Graham Smith pushing for a probe.
  • A November 2010 email was forwarded five minutes after being sent by Amir Patel, and a Christmas Eve 2010 Helmand Province investment brief included Epstein; DOJ emails show reports from visits to Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore.
  • King Charles III's office said the monarch pledged to support police enquiries, formally removed the Duke of York title, and Virginia Giuffre's family thanked Thames Valley Police for affirming no one is above the law.
  • Searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk continue as police say the probe remains active; Republic's lawyers will keep investigating and CEO Graham Smith said `Make no mistake, this is a result of Republic's action`.
