The king’s brother has reportedly been taken into custody on his 66th birthday
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew and brother of King Charles, has reportedly been arrested by UK police on suspicion of misconduct in public office. It comes after he was found to be closely associated with convicted pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
On Thursday, British outlets reported that unmarked police cars and plainclothes officers had arrived at the ex-prince’s residence and taken him into custody. According to reports, authorities suspect Mountbatten-Windsor of sharing sensitive information with Epstein while he was a UK trade envoy.
This marks the first time a member of the royal family has been arrested by police in recent history.
