Royal Scandal: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Arrested Amid Epstein Allegations

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother to King Charles, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, reportedly for sending confidential documents to the disgraced Jeffrey Epstein. Thames Valley Police are leading the investigation, exploring the complexities of the case based on new U.S. documents.

Mountbatten-Windsor, who turned 66 on his arrest day, was detained at his Norfolk residence, Wood Farm. The arrest drew significant attention, with six unmarked police cars and eight plainclothes officers involved. The former royal has consistently denied any improper conduct related to Epstein.

The controversy was ignited by the release of over 3 million pages concerning Epstein’s illegal activities. These documents claim that Mountbatten-Windsor provided Epstein with reports from his official travels. Despite the mounting evidence, Buckingham Palace has yet to comment on the arrest.
