The ex-Prince Andrew, brother of King Charles III of England, has been arrested on suspicion of "misconduct in public office," as reported by the BBC. The police are searching two properties in Berkshire and Norfolk that may be owned by the former British prince, who is celebrating his 66th birthday today.
This arrest comes after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated on Thursday that "no one is above the law" regarding the case of convicted American pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but he did not comment on whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles III, should voluntarily present himself to the police.
Ex-Prince Andrew, from whom his brother stripped all noble titles, is at the center of a major scandal in the United Kingdom due to his past links with Epstein and following the revelation of emails showing that he apparently shared sensitive government documents with the pedophile a few years ago, as reported by Efe.
In early February, the former Duke of York, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, was removed from the British Court and banished from London days after the publication of another massive batch of compromising photographs of Charles III's brother and emails exchanged with Jeffrey Epstein. Consequently, he left his mansion in Windsor Park.
