Prince William and Kate's Response to Ex-Prince Andrew's Arrest

Prince Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday at the Sandringham Estate for allegedly forwarding confidential documents to Jeffrey Epstein. The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, support King Charles' statement following the arrest.

Arrest Details

The former Duke of York was taken into custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office. If convicted, he could face a life sentence. Thames Valley Police did not name Andrew but confirmed an investigation involving searches in Berkshire and Norfolk.

Royal Reactions

King Charles expressed deep concern about the accusations against his brother, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation by appropriate authorities. He stated it would be improper to comment further as the legal process unfolds.

William and Kate previously commented on the Epstein files' revelations, expressing deep concern and focusing their thoughts on the victims affected by these events.

Ties to Epstein

Newly released documents from the DOJ revealed that while Andrew served as the UK's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment, he allegedly shared details with Epstein about trips to Vietnam and Singapore in 2010. This information should have remained confidential under the Official Secrets Act.
