King Charles’ brother Andrew arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office: BBC

Reuters: King Charles’ younger brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office over allegations he sent confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein, the BBC reported.

Thames Valley Police said earlier this month that officers were considering allegations that Mountbatten-Windsor had passed documents to the late convicted sex offender, according to files released by the US government.

“Thames Valley Police have opened an investigation into an offence of misconduct in public office,” the force said in a statement on X.

“A man in his sixties from Norfolk has been arrested and remains in police custody. As per national guidance, we will not name the arrested man.”

The former prince, the second son of the late Queen Elizabeth, has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein and said he regrets their friendship. But he has not responded to requests for comment since the latest release of documents.

There was no immediate comment from Buckingham Palace.
