Friday, May 22, 2026 - Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is being investigated by the police over potential s£xual offences.
Detectives announced that a misconduct in public office
probe into the former prince has broadened to consider a wide range of
offences, including s£xual misconduct and corruption.
Three months after the former Duke of York was arrested over
claims that he leaked secrets to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein during
his decade as the UK's trade envoy, officers are now interviewing witnesses
about suspected criminal offences.
Detectives are keen to speak to a woman who claims she was
taken to the former prince's home in Windsor "for s£xual purposes".
Epstein, who was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a
minor in 2008, died in a New York prison in 2019 as he awaited trial on s£x
trafficking charges.
Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied wrongdoing in
relation to his association with Epstein and has denied any personal gain from
his role as a UK trade envoy between 2001 and 2011.
He was arrested on 19 February and released under
investigation. He has only ever been described by Thames Valley Police as
"a man in his 60s from Norfolk", as police forces do not usually name
people unless they have been charged.
He was questioned on suspicion of misconduct in public
office, after emails published in the Epstein Files seemed to suggest he had
shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein.
His house on King Charles III's Sandringham Estate in
Norfolk and his former home, Royal Lodge in Windsor, were both searched by
detectives.
In a new update on the case, Thames Valley Police Assistant
Chief Constable Oliver Wright repeated the force's call for information,
saying: "We encourage anyone with information to get in touch with
us."
"Misconduct in public office is a crime that can take
different forms, making this a complex investigation," he said.
“There's a number of aspects of alleged misconduct that the
investigation is examining.”
