He was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to revelations from the Epstein files. The former duke has denied any wrongdoing concerning Jeffrey Epstein.

The arrest occurred at Wood Farm early in the morning. He was later taken to Aylsham Police Station, located 40 miles away. Andrew’s journey home, to the Sandringham estate, took about an hour.

Response To Arrest

Commentary from the British media indicates that the image of Andrew leaving police custody will likely have lasting ramifications for the Royal Family. Observers say that he appeared visibly affected and “terrified” by the situation.

Royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills highlighted the gravity of the moment, stating that such an image is troubling for the monarchy.

The royal family has faced heightened scrutiny following the release of the Epstein files.

King Charles has remarked that the law must be upheld and enforced equally, irrespective of status. Multiple outlets will continue to cover developments in this ongoing story.
