Former royalPrince Andrewwas arrested on Thursday at his temporary residence on the Sandringham Estate. The Thames Valley Police, an agency that covers areas west of London, including Mountbatten-Windsor’s former home, had it was “assessing” reports that the former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, sent trade reports to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2010.
“Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office,’’ the statement said. “It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offence.
The police force did not name Mountbatten-Windsor, as is normal under UK law. But when asked if he had been arrested, the force pointed to a statement saying that they had arrested a man in his sixties.
Notably, emails from the freshly released batch of Epstein files have alleged that the former prince had passed on reports of visits to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam and shared confidential details of investment opportunities.
