Police in the U.K. arrested King Charles' younger brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office over his links to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Thames Valley Police said earlier this month officers were considering allegations that Mountbatten-Windsor had passed documents to the late convicted sex offender, according to files released by the U.S. government.
"Thames Valley Police have opened an investigation into an offence of misconduct in public office," the force said in a statement on X.
"A man in his sixties from Norfolk has been arrested and remains in police custody. As per national guidance we will not name the arrested man," it added.
Earlier newspapers had reported that six unmarked police cars and around eight plain-clothed officers had arrived at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate in eastern England, where Mountbatten-Windsor, whose 66th birthday falls Thursday, now lives.
