Britain’s police have arrested Prince Andrew, King Charles’s brother, according to media reports. The former senior royal-who was previously removed from the royal household and stripped of his princely style-was reportedly taken into custody at Sandringham Estate, sources say, as part of a long-running investigation that remains ongoing.
Thames Valley Police confirmed an arrest in the Sandringham area but did not name the individual, citing UK legal restrictions on identifying suspects. Media outlets report that the arrested person is the ousted royal member and that he is currently in police custody.
The BBC, citing its sources, says the arrest took place on the day he turned 66. Authorities have not publicly detailed the specific charges or the precise grounds for the arrest, and police have said the investigation is continuing.
Reports indicate investigators have broadened their inquiry to include business documents exchanged between Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein. Police statements referenced allegations of irregularities in public office, though officials have not made full details public.
According to BBC coverage, the arrest could lead to searches of the former royal’s residence, documents and other property. News agencies say searches and evidence-gathering are possible steps while the probe continues.
It remains unclear exactly which allegations, if any, form the basis for formal charges. Media reporting also states that Prince Andrew’s name appears in the so‑called “Epstein files,” and that allegations of sexual misconduct have been made against him; those earlier allegations are separate from the new police action and are still part of public discussion.
Authorities have not yet released a timetable for further legal steps or when more information will be made public. The police investigation is ongoing, and officials say they will provide updates in line with legal and operational requirements.
