Former Prince Andrew arrested

The former Prince Andrew, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has been arrested.

A team of police officers arrived at the home where he is staying on King Charles' Sandringham estate in Norfolk on the morning of Thursday, Feb. 19 — Mountbatten-Windsor's 66th birthday.

It was first reported by the BBC that he has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Authorities are investigating Andrew in light of an allegation claiming that he shared confidential information with the late Jeffrey Epstein while acting as a trade envoy for the U.K.

Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
