LONDON — Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor may have been released from custody, but his legal saga is not over
LONDON — Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor may have been released from custody, but his legal saga is not over.
On Friday, police continued to search his former residence of Royal Lodge, in Windsor. This is where he lived before his brother, King Charles III, asked him to leave last year amid mounting pressure over his relationship with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Officers have now finished searches of Wood Farm, on the royal Sandringham estate, where Mountbatten-Windsor moved earlier this month, according to Thames Valley Police.
His release after around 11 hours in detention is not uncommon in cases of alleged white-collar crime. It does not mean he has been cleared — nor does it mean he has been released on bail, so there are no “conditions” for his release. It merely indicates that police have finished with this round of questioning and are continuing the investigation.
The former prince being released “under investigation would indicate that this is going to be a long term process,” said Dal Babu, a former chief superintendent with London’s Metropolitan Police. It means “he’s suspected of a crime, he hasn’t been formally charged, and there’s no conditions. There’s no timeline as to how long the investigation will take.”
