Mountbatten-Windsor, who was a UK trade envoy between 2001 and 2011, is in custody as police search addresses
Detectives who have arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor are examining his conduct as trade envoy for the UK after the disclosure of emails from the late disgraced banker Jeffrey Epstein.
The former duke of York has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He remains in custody – although his whereabouts are unclear – as police search addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk.
The arrest appears related to his conduct as a UK trade envoy and follows the disclosure of emails related to Epstein.
Among the files released by the US Department of Justice were documents that appeared to show the former prince forwarding sensitive government documents and commercial information to the convicted sex offender.
