Former Prince Andrew is arrested on his 66th birthday haha.
Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, Thames Valley Police said.
This allegation means wilfully abusing or neglecting the power held by a public office. Police have not said what led to the arrest but Andrew spent a decade as a UK trade envoy between 2001-2011.
Documents released by the US Department of Justice last month showed that the former prince, who was bound by the same confidentiality guidelines as UK government ministers, was in contact with Epstein during his time as trade envoy.
Thames Valley Police had previously said it is assessing whether Mountbatten-Windsor shared confidential material with Epstein during this time, as well as allegations that a woman was trafficked to the UK by Epstein to have a sexual encounter with the former prince.
Unmarked police cars were seen arriving at Mountbatten-Windsor’s home on his brother’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk on Thursday, the day of his birthday.
