Breaking: Prince Andrew Arrested on His 66th Birthday—Epstein Links Cited, but Child Trafficking or S*xual Offenses NOT the Charge (Video)
Prince Andrew has been arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office, with the arrest directly tied to his past links to Jeffrey Epstein. The arrest was carried out by Thames Valley Police, who confirmed they took a man in his sixties from Norfolk into custody and are conducting searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk. While police have not officially named him due to national guidance, multiple sources and the context of the investigation point clearly to Andrew.
In their full statement, Thames Valley Police said:
“We have today arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office and are carrying out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk. The man remains in police custody at this time. We will not be naming the arrested man, as per national guidance. Please also remember that this case is now active so care should be taken with any publication to avoid being in contempt of court.”
Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright added:
“Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office. It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offence. We understand the significant public interest in this case, and we will provide updates at the appropriate time.”
The charge is **not** child trafficking or sexual offenses. It centers on allegations of misconduct in public office, reportedly linked to emails released by the US Justice Department showing Andrew sent Epstein a confidential document on gold and uranium investments in Afghanistan while serving as the UK’s trade envoy from 2001 to 2011. This role gave him access to sensitive government information, and any improper sharing with Epstein is now under scrutiny.
The arrest comes amid renewed global focus on the Epstein network following the release of additional documents. Andrew has long been one of the most scrutinized figures connected to Epstein, having settled a civil lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre in 2022 and been stripped of his royal titles and military honors by Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.

The timing on his 66th birthday is striking, and the public interest is enormous. While the charge is serious, it falls short of the trafficking accusations many expected. The investigation is ongoing, and Andrew remains in custody at this time.
