King Charles III affirms full support for police investigation after his brother Andrew's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office linked to Jeffrey Epstein files.
- On Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested at his Sandringham Estate residence, and King Charles III said the law must take its course in a palace statement.
- Following a "thorough assessment", Thames Valley Police opened an investigation into alleged misconduct in public office tied to millions of pages of previously unseen U.S. Justice Department documents and are examining whether Mountbatten-Windsor sent confidential trade reports to Jeffrey Epstein.
- Officers entered Wood Farm at around 8am, and Mountbatten-Windsor is in police custody, having denied any wrongdoing.
- Buckingham Palace pledged to support and cooperate with Thames Valley Police if approached, marking the first arrest of a senior royal in modern history and increasing pressure on the monarchy.
