Norfolk, UK — Web Desk: Prince Andrew, a member of the British royal family, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of misusing his official position, linked to his past association with late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Police confirmed that the former prince was taken into custody at his residence in Norfolk, with searches underway at multiple locations across Berkshire and Norfolk. Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright of the Thomas Valley Police stated that a formal investigation has been launched following an initial assessment of potential misuse of official powers.
Authorities emphasized that transparency and impartiality are paramount in the ongoing inquiry. Police images published in UK media show officers arriving in unmarked vehicles at Wood Farm, part of the Sandringham estate, at around 8 a.m. local time.
