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

  • On Feb 19, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested at his Sandringham home on suspicion of misconduct linked to Jeffrey Epstein, likely spending his 66th birthday in custody as the first senior royal arrested in centuries.
  • On Feb 19, the police arrested Prince Andrew at his Sandringham home following the release of recent Epstein files by the U.S. Department of Justice, which appeared to show he passed official documents to Epstein during his trade-envoy period.
  • In August 2021 Virginia Giuffre sued Andrew alleging she had sex with him when she was 17, and her posthumous memoir renewed allegations and outrage.
  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged Andrew to testify to the U.S. Congress amid deep public disapproval reflected in a YouGov poll showing 91 per cent negative opinion.
  • At least nine British police forces are assessing reports linking him to Epstein, despite remaining eighth in line to the throne, with removal requiring legislation, and Giuffre's death and memoir intensifying scrutiny.
