Reports from BBC on Thursday stated that police in the UK have arrested Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III, over allegations of misconduct in public office linked to his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
According to Reuters, the arrest was made by Thames Valley Police, which oversees regions west of London, including areas connected to Andrew’s former residence. Authorities are reportedly reviewing claims that he shared trade-related information with Epstein back in 2010.
Following standard UK legal procedures, police did not officially name the individual involved. However, when questioned, officials confirmed that a man in his sixties had been detained in connection with the investigation.
