Overview
- Thames Valley Police say searches at Royal Lodge in Windsor have continued into Monday after Andrew’s Feb. 19 arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
- Andrew spent about 10–11 hours in custody before being released under investigation, and no charges have been filed.
- Investigators are assessing allegations tied to U.S. Justice Department Epstein files that he passed sensitive trade material to Epstein during his tenure as U.K. trade envoy.
- Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has written to Keir Starmer offering support for any proposal to remove Andrew from the line of succession, a step that would require legislation across the U.K. and Commonwealth realms.
- Prince William, at the BAFTAs in his first joint appearance with Princess Kate since the arrest, said he was not in a calm state, as King Charles reaffirmed full cooperation and said the law must take its course.
