Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Released Under Investigation After Arrest in UK Misconduct Probe

The case stems from newly released U.S. Justice Department files that suggest he passed confidential government reports to Jeffrey Epstein while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.

Overview

  • Thames Valley Police detained him at Sandringham for roughly 11–12 hours on Feb. 19 before releasing him without charge.
  • Officers executed searches at Wood Farm in Norfolk and addresses in Berkshire, with activity at Windsor’s Royal Lodge continuing into Friday, according to police statements.
  • Investigators are reviewing emails and other documents indicating he may have forwarded a “confidential” Afghanistan investment report and trip briefings in 2010.
  • King Charles III said authorities have the Palace’s full cooperation and that “the law must take its course.”
  • Andrew denies wrongdoing and previously settled a U.S. civil case with Virginia Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability.
