LONDON — U.K. police arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
The police force did not name Mountbatten-Windsor, as is normal under U.K. law. But when asked if he had been arrested, the force pointed to a statement saying that they had arrested a man in his 60s. Mountbatten-Windsor is 66. The former British prince was stripped of his royal titles because of his links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Here's the statement by the Thames Valley Police:
ICE and Nassau agreement: One year later ... Former Prince Andrew arrested ... Ex-SBU professor named in Epstein files ... LI Works: Making soap
