LONDON − Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has suffered a sharp fall from grace over the last decade culminating − for now − in his arrest by British police over allegations of misconduct in public life over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The BBC first reported the development, later confirmed by police and King Charles.
The former prince, the king's brother, has faced multiple allegations connected to his links to Epstein, the convicted sex offender and accused sex-trafficker. The United Kingdom's Thames Valley Police did not on Feb. 19 release any details of its investigation into Mountbatten-Windsor. However, the police force has previously said it was assessing an allegation that he shared confidential government information with the late sex offender.
