Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office Thursday, following years of allegations related to Jeffrey Epstein connections.

He stepped back from his royal duties in 2020 and decided to give up his royal titles — including Duke of York in 2025. His brother, King Charles III, then stripped Andrew of all remaining titles, including prince, after which he became Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
"I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office," the king said in a statement issued by Buckingham Palace. "What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course."
