Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
A U.K. police force said Thursday that it was “assessing” reports that the former Prince Andrew sent trade reports to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Mountbatten-Windsor, who is King Charles III’s brother, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in his relationship with Epstein.
