The police of the Tamworth area in England announced the release of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of the King of Britain and former prince. The police stated that Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor was 'released under investigation.' He was detained on suspicion of misconduct during his official position. Andrew, the former prince of Britain, was arrested around 8 AM on Thursday, January 19 (February 30) at a property in Sandringham, Norfolk, England. He was transferred to the Aylsham investigation center on his birthday. He was then released from the Aylsham investigation center at 7 PM and returned to Norfolk about half an hour later. Charles III, King of Britain, in response to his brother's arrest, said he was 'deeply concerned' about Andrew's detention, adding, 'The law must take its course.' The arrest of Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor came in the wake of scandals related to the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex offender. The police have stated that there is suspicion that the former prince provided documents to Jeffrey Epstein while he was a British trade envoy. Officers have been searching two addresses related to him in England since the morning of Thursday, January 19 (February 30), including his residence in Sandringham, Norfolk. Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor has previously denied any misconduct related to Epstein; he has not responded to BBC requests for comments regarding specific allegations related to the release of millions of Epstein's files in January 2026. Following repeated revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein case, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who previously held the title of 'prince,' lost all his royal titles less than four months ago.
