"Thames Valley Police, who made the arrest, said it was on "suspicion of misconduct in public office", a so-called "common law offense," that is a crime established by a combination of legal precedent and custom, not by a formal act of parliament. While the nature of the alleged offence has not yet been made clear, Mountbatten-Windsor, known as Prince Andrew until being stripped of his titles last year, has been heavily linked to disgraced and deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein."
"Andrew's military and His Royal Highness (HRH) titles had already been removed in 2022. The 2025 decision came shortly after the posthumous release of Virginia Giuffre's memoir in October. Giuffre was one of the most prominent accusers of Epstein and claimed he had trafficked her to Mountbatten-Windsor. The former prince settled a civil lawsuit with Giuffre in 2022 by paying significant sums to her and her charity without any admission of guilt."
Thames Valley Police arrested a man on suspicion of misconduct in public office, a common law offence established by legal precedent and custom. The arrested person has not been formally identified by police but is widely reported to be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The Epstein Files include emails from an address identified as 'A' or 'The Duke' that have linked him to Jeffrey Epstein. King Charles removed Mountbatten-Windsor's royal titles in 2025 after military and HRH titles were removed earlier. Virginia Giuffre, a prominent accuser who alleged trafficking to Mountbatten-Windsor, died by suicide in 2025. Mountbatten-Windsor settled a 2022 civil lawsuit with Giuffre by paying significant sums without admitting guilt. The reported arrest occurred at Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate.
