Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office after police opened an investigation linked to his dealings with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Thames Valley Police said officers detained a man in his sixties from Norfolk on Thursday morning and carried out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk. The force did not name the suspect, in line with national guidance. Multiple British media outlets, including the BBC and The Guardian, identified the man as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
