"Prince Andrew's 66th birthday began in a somber atmosphere - with the arrival of six unmarked police vehicles and eight plainclothes officers who searched his home, Wood Farm, on the royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk, and with news that a warrant had been issued for the king's younger brother on suspicion of serious abuse of office. The British public is still adjusting to calling him simply Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after King Charles III stripped him of the rest of his titles and honors."
"Andrew, once said to have been Queen Elizabeth's favorite child, has spent years fending off questions about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and whether he was involved in Epstein's trafficking of underage girls and women. Epstein's associate, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell - herself a close confidant of Andrew - was convicted of sex trafficking after his 2019 death in jail."
Prince Andrew was arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Police searched his Wood Farm home on the Sandringham estate with six unmarked vehicles and eight plainclothes officers. King Charles III stated, "The law must take its course." Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his titles and honors in 2022 and 2025. Released Epstein files intensified scrutiny of Andrew's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and implicated potential sharing of confidential information obtained during overseas trade missions, including details about Royal Bank of Scotland restructuring in 2010. Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking after Epstein's 2019 death in jail.
