British police arrested former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on Thursday over suspicion of misconduct in public office — based on accusations he shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a British trade envoy.
Emails released suggest “Prince Andrew” may have shared confidential documents as a trade envoy, including one that shows he forwarded to Epstein official reports of a visit to South Asia in 2010.
Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre stated that Epstein had trafficked her to the former prince around 2001 and he had sex with her multiple times.
Her family released a statement:
King Charles III confirmed the arrest in a statement, concluding the law must take its course.
British authorities have moved aggressively to address the possibility of crimes committed related to the 3 million pages of correspondence in the Epstein files.
Peter Mandelson, a British political operative and former ambassador to the U.S., is also being investigating for sharing sensitive official government documents with Epstein.
