What we know so far
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on
suspicion of misconduct in public office.
Photographs of unmarked police cars and
plainclothes officers at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate just after 8am
were published on Thursday.
A statement from Thames Valley police said: “We
have today (19/2) arrested a man in his 60s from Norfolk on suspicion of
misconduct in public office and are carrying out searches at addresses in
Berkshire and Norfolk. The man remains in police custody at this time.”
The arrest came as Mountbatten-Windsor celebrated
his 66th birthday at home.
Police had been assessing allegations that
Mountbatten-Windsor – formerly known as Prince Andrew – shared sensitive
information with the billionaire child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein when he was
a UK trade envoy.
Oliver Wright, Thames Valley Police’s assistant
chief constable, said: “Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an
investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office.”
