"For Prince Andrew, his 66th birthday started with a trip to the booking station in handcuffs. The disgraced second son of Queen Elizabeth II was escorted out of his temporary Norfolk home on Thursday morning by authorities who are investigating the former prince for possible misconduct while in public office. Authorities are looking into an allegation claiming Prince Andrew-now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor-shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein while acting as the U.K.'s trade envoy."
"Thames Valley police issued a statement on Thursday morning saying they "arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office and are carrying out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk," adding "the man remains in police custody at this time" but will not be naming the arrested man. Andrew has been staying on King Charles' Sandringham estate in Norfolk after being ordered to leave his 30-room Windsor Royal Lodge mansion by the King earlier this month."
Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and taken into custody while authorities searched addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk. The allegation claims he shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein while acting as the U.K.'s trade envoy. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein. Thames Valley police said they arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk and would not name him. Andrew has been living on King Charles' Sandringham estate after being ordered to leave Windsor Royal Lodge. Longstanding financial secrecy around his affairs has given way to public scrutiny after a settlement tied to Virginia Giuffre. His net worth is estimated between £3 million and £3.7 million.
