The Thames Valley Police said in a statement that it had “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.”
As British law requires, the police did not name the suspect, but the details provided in the police report match what is known about the public misconduct allegations. The police were seen on Thursday morning at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England, where Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor is living.

The arrest should have happened the day after his November 2019 BBC interview aired, but the Nile ain't just a river in Egypt.
Next do king chuck.

Norfolk man arrested.
Labour still hates cops and soldiers. They’re still doing everything they can to lock up British officials for actions in Northern Ireland, not to mention the War on Terror. And the two royals who actually fought in wars are being made into pariahs.
The Duke won’t even get the basic right of being tried by his peers in the Lords, because that was taken away years ago. CC, JSM
They arrested him for not being Muslim!?!?
…they seem more broken than the US, in part because they don’t realize it…
Now we can find out if he can sweat.
What a schmuck.
I hear that Joe Biden will pardon Andrew.
If Farage had balls, he’d get up and say “We cannot throw our royals and veterans to the wolves. I don’t care if the Duke of York raped and et a baby. It’s not that royals are above the law; it’s that royals are the law. The Crown is the guarantor of our freedom, so the Crown and the people near it must me inviolate. Today it may be a solid case; tomorrow it could be a completely manufactured one, to get the sovereign to go along with some tyranny from the government of the day. Prosecuting the royal family makes Britain a place where men instead of laws rule.”
The white vans would probably converge on Westminster and force a vote of no confidence against Starmer. CC, JSM

Because I can’t read the NYT article, Grok:
“He was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. This stems from allegations that, during his time as a UK trade envoy, he shared confidential government/trade information with Jeffrey Epstein.”
It’s not about the girls, apparently.
What’s all this then!?
No Trump arrest? Althouse Leftist commentariat hardest hit. We were assured the walls were closing in.
Prince in Pickle From Perverted Slap ‘n’ Tickle.
Now do Les Wexner, the sad billionaire who made a fortune from selling sexy lingerie who was 'duped' by Epstein. Gave him millions, but duped. Duped I tell you! Duped!
The Andrew formerly known as Prince.
This is the incredibly unpopular Starmer trying to stay in office to carry out the 'mandate' that he was given by, you know, 32% of the vote. The whole ruling class is mixed up in this, they are just a collection of perverts who waste about as much feeling on us peasants as the farmer does on a truckload of hogs headed out the gate for Smithfield. All any of them see is dollar signs.
Trump should give Andrew asylum, a Trump Gold Card, and a fast track to citizenship. Andrew would love abjuring all loyalty to Charles III, King of Great Britain. Trump's rationale should be like the J6 pardons: not that Andrew is necessarily innocent, but that the system has been so screwed up and weaponized against him that no one will ever know the truth.
Then Andrew can be like Lord Haw-Haw and broadcast to his former country on Rubio's new censor-proof European internet! CC, JSM
People who claim to have seen the autopsy photos, why haven't they been published, BTW, claim that they show he was strangled with an electrical cord, most likely. Were the autopsy photos released with the Epstein files, I would like to know if that claim is true.
Is it plain yet that he didn't kill himself? All cable news is, and I include Fox in this, is population conditioning to keep us on the reservation, accepting their narratives, and going along with the nonsense that they expect us to swallow, such as Epstein hanged himself from the top bunk using a bedsheet and the cameras just stopped working and the guards were all asleep at the critical time.
"I know it's hard to believe..." Said the investigator whose father wrote pedophile sci-fi novels and hired Epstein as a math teacher, even though he didn't have the required credentials for the job.
Stubbing your toe on a cracked pavement is grounds for misconduct in the UK.
The monarchy machine has been a superb marketing device. Still true.
"allegations that he shared confidential government trade documents with the late Jeffrey Epstein."
Totally just a con-man and starfucker you guys!
Who is the American equivalent to Prince Andrew? Ds will say DJT. I say Hunter Biden.
Even the Prodigal Son was banished when an old tweet showed up.
Anyone getting govt paycheck in UK has to swear a fuehreroath not to the king but to Charles the person. That includes police, judges, prosecutors.
It will be very awkward to arrest & try Chuck after swearing that oath
John Henry .
American equivalent to Andrew = Bill Clinton. He was a dirty dog for a long time, an Epstein associate, and the literal President.
Hunter was the nobody son of a nobody puppet -- propped up only so the CBC and Deep State could get access to the Autopen devices.
I haven't seen the news yet today. Is this for sharing government information? I think I saw something about the files showing he was doing that.
In an official statement from the Palace, the King has said that the law must take its course. IOW Charles has thrown his little brother even further under the double-decker bus.
Most likely
“A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it" - The Little Prince
Hmm trading on state secrets…sounds a little flimsy. I mean, Prince Andrew’s job was to “sell” the uk, wasn’t it?
Do they have Prince Andrew in the can?
Better not let him out.

Maybe Andrew can't sweat, but I bet this is making some other folks sweat.
It’s not about the girls, apparently
I was wondering how they were going to square this with the Rotherham shit.
Use of stansted airport and classified info
Finally an Epstein Files related arrest! Are you not happy, Trump conspiracy enthusiasts? Are you not entertained?
Of course not hes not even slightly orange
NYT: "...for criminal activity related to the Epstein files."
Actual charge: Sharing confidential information, nothing to do with underage girls, and by the way, that Giuffre girl was of legal age.
NYT: well, it WAS in the Epstein files.
Fake, but accurate.
It seems today is Andrew's birthday. Happy Birthday, Andrew!
The Andrew cas is not about the girls?
"The first rule of Fight Club is that you do not talk about fight club."
The first rule of the Deep State is that you do not admit to anything happening INSIDE the Deep State, only that you aggressively crush anyone who threatens Deep State power and security.
Crush spies (Andrew) for National Security violations, keep Epstein on the books to keep the juice flowing on the inside.
This arrest is to make up for the non-arrests in Rotherham and other places where young British girls were raped repeatedly by Pakistani men. It’s pathetic.
He did not hang himself in Belmarsh
I knew something was in the wind when the royals gave him the boot. Mustn’t sully Buckingham Palace. Ha
Not that they would send him (where they kept assange)

I wonder if Andrew has been nominated to be a sacrificial lamb, in order to satisfy the crowd's retributive lust and remove further demands for inquiry.
Finally, the FBI goes after criminal elements associated with Jeffrey Epstein.
Oh, wait.
UK: Prince Andrew arrested.
South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.
Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.
US: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from US taxpayers.
...and by the way, that Giuffre girl was of legal age
As was that chick (who was 22 when she volunteered to go to Pedo Island and work) who has appointed herself spokesskank for the Reid Hoffman financed anti-Trump traveling Epstein show that shows up in DC all the time, trying to distract attention from Hoffman himself, an Epstein frog in very warm water that's starting to bubble.
And everyone forced onto LinkedIn by their stupid employer is cheering his impending denouement. Social Media disguised as "business networking" is still just shitty social media.
No billy had no official position
Shante davis makes things up
Thames Valley Police - I hope they have Lewis and Hathaway on the case.
@Mike (MJB Wolf) on the ages of the women.
PLENTY of young female wannabe actors and models aggressively pursue a spot on the casting couch. It's not illegal per se, despite the brief Trump anger redirected to Harvey Weinstein and Senator Stuart Smalley.
PLENTY of young females have filed legit lawsuits over workplace sexual topics. Start with Bill Clinton's history.
Case by case. Soul by soul.
I like what Glenn R. and his friend have to say -
Friend: "Interesting. Does this mean they’re gonna start arresting all those Pakistani rape gangs, plus the police and other public officials who turned a blind eye to that?”
GR: Don’t be silly. That would be racist or something. Also it would interfere with the leftist/Islamist takeover of Britain. Arresting (former) Prince Andrew weakens the royal family, and thus promotes that takeover. Not that King Charles has shown any sign of getting in the way, but just by existing the monarchy is a potential center of resistance."
Has anybody in the royals really objected to the takeover
Not apparently
Kak: Bolsonaro? Really?
What to know after Brazil’s Bolsonaro is convicted and sentenced for coup attempt (AP News)
Aside from mostly negative statements by Epstein about Jair Bolsonaro, the outrageous conduct of Alexandre deMoraes in persecuting Bolsonaro as a way to shut down any opposition in Brazil is right out of the same playbook as used by Boasberg, Merchan, et al.
"Is it plain yet that he didn't kill himself?"
Who cares? Child abusers and mobsters (among other cohorts) get killed in prison all the time, don't they? It wouldn't surprise me if that's how Epstein met his fate (if any real evidence of it emerged, that is).
It's a very big leap from "Epstein was murdered" to "Epstein's 'CLIENTS' murdered him to keep him from talking," which is what all the murder speculation seems to be trying to insinuate. But why would these all-powerful "clients" wait until he was already convicted and incarcerated to try to muzzle him?
We are horrified when adults without morals try to abuse childrens' bodies, as we should be, but we reward with fame and fortune those who come up with ways to mindfuck kids and eagerly hand the kids over to them. People who keep their kids off of screens or homeschool them to protect them are considered dangerous weirdos.
@Dogma and Pony Show: But why would these all-powerful "clients" wait until he was already convicted and incarcerated to try to muzzle him?
Well...Epstein had access to 1,000,000 dirty little secrets beyond the sex stuff. They may not have wanted him talk in seeking release. Also, he was in an environment where bumbling government employees (nominal guards) were present. Finally, a semi-obvious murder sends a very public message to others thinking about cooperating with investigators.
Epstein's death events mimicked about 1,000 cliched movie plots.
The shadow of the incompetent Earl Mountbatten and the foolish, probably treasonous Duke of Windsor hangs over the House of Mountbatten-Windsor. Scandals and eccentrics seem to be more common in the family than mature and responsible adults.
But even before this dynasty, Britain has had trouble with its heirs and spares. A lifetime spent in waiting -- often waiting for something that will never happen -- takes its toll on the royals.
Whatever the formal charges are, Prince Andrew was arrested for his dicey sexual history. I don't mean this as a defense for him, but I don't think his crimes were monstrous. He's unsavory, unethical, and self indulgent, but I wouldn't put him up there with Jeffrey Dahmer......Show of hands: How many women here have had a more traumatic sexual experience in adolescence than screwing a Prince of the realm on a royal estate. I think the Rotherham girls certainly did.
That's what happens when you're a Royal and not a Clinton. One is arrested, the other will never be brought to justice.
Prince Andy is suspected of providing inside information to Epstein and Lord Mandelson (might be ex-Lord now) in order to make a killing in the stock market - among other things.
"Well...Epstein had access to 1,000,000 dirty little secrets beyond the sex stuff."
Did he, though? Why aren't they in the Epstein files? (If it's just stuff that Epstein was carrying around in his head but hadn't documented, it's hard to believe it would be that valuable to the government or that threatening to the "real killers.")
"They may not have wanted him talk in seeking release." Sure, but why would Epstein not have already used the "secrets" to avoid going to prison in the first place, where he could be so easily bumped off because he was "in an environment where bumbling government employees (nominal guards) were present"?
"Finally, a semi-obvious murder sends a very public message to others thinking about cooperating with investigators."
Wouldn't a COMPLETELY obvious murder -- something like what Luigi Mangione did -- send that message even more clearly?
"Epstein's death events mimicked about 1,000 cliched movie plots."
Sort of my point.
What about all those UK Pakistani rape gangs?? What? Nothing? UK police won't touch them...
@Dogma and Pony Show:
When I look at Epstein's prison cell orange bedsheet "noose" -- I struggle to understand how that would choke anyone to death. It looks way softer and more forgiving than a necktie. Neckties can kill if one gets trapped in a lathe or machine, but in the cell scenario? Plus there were piles and piles of orange bedsheets given to a "suicidal" prisoner?
Truth or fiction? Hmmm? Still, it brings to mind the Obama, Democrats, and Hollywood movie set line from Sarah Palin's speech in 2008. Many Democrats are fully embedded in fiction. Andrew was living in a dream world.
“ if any real evidence of it emerged, that is).”
They condition us to swallow gaslighting like this. You have to shut off cable news for years or you can’t help but parrot their nonsense narratives. We have as much evidence as there will ever be, but if you can show me the autopsy photos, I will take your chorus line argument more seriously, otherwise, the withholding of it says that it is damning.
Interesting that congress didn’t demand the release of the autopsy photos.
Now do Bill Gates.
"but that the system has been so screwed up and weaponized against him that no one will ever know the truth."
Weaponized against him? Are you stupid? Against him? If *you* were accused of raping teens, do you think it would take authorities 10, 15, 20 years before finally getting around to arresting you? The screwed up system defended him and protected him. It was not "weaponized" against him. Give me a break.
If unreliable witnesses accused me of having sex with an 18 or possibly 17yo girl (Giuffre born in 1983, allegedly involved with the Duke in 2001), in murky circumstances, I would expect to never hear about it because no prosecutor would take such a shaky case. If one actually decided to take a chance on it, I would expect a very short process resulting in a directed verdict of acquittal as all their evidence fell apart.
Andrew still hasn’t been arrested for raping teens. He was arrested for allegedly giving Epstein confidential UK economic info. That’s also its own can of multiple affirmative defenses and other impediments to conviction. But anyway, back to the sex stuff: Andrew has been accused for years of a crime that no one seems able to prove in court. Yet all the norms have been broken to make him an example.
But you do have a point: If they can do that to him, what indeed can they do to me and you? This is why it’s even more important to honor the norms for the great, so that the little people feel secure.
And why it’s important to the enemies of our civilization to break it off in the asses of the great, so that ours are always a bit puckered. CC, JSM
Djt is looking for a new gig in 29. I've seen comments that chuck should abdicate but is William any better?
Maybe they need a new royal family. And with their mania for diversity, why not a us/Serbian royal fame.
So could be prince Baron.
Eventually king baron
John Henry
AMDG: “ Thames Valley Police - I hope they have Lewis and Hathaway on the case.”
Hathaway (Laurence Fox) is a nonperson on Airstrip One. He gets dragged into court about once every three weeks for some thoughtcrime.
I highly recommend his Fox and Father podcast with biracial breakaway Anglican priest Calvin Robinson. CC, JSM
They waited until his birthday to arrest him.
No way, DD. YOU do Bill Gates. Ick.
Prison tat ideas.
He's the designated a-hole covering lone patsy
“No way, DD. YOU do Bill Gates. Ick.”
Sweet Jaysus… don’t give him any ideas!
“Arrested” in the UK does not mean the same thing as arrested in the US. I doubt they slapped the gyves on him. Often it’s just a way of compelling an interview.
Fwiw michael tracey says this is much about nothing
I don't mean this as a defense for him, but I don't think his crimes were monstrous.
I think it's easier for the royal family to protect their brand when one member is a libertine than it is when one is giving (selling?) confidential information. Long before he was the "former prince", he was Randy Andy.
Prince Andrew to seek asylum in the United States and join Donald Trump’s cabinet to avoid further persecution. As Secretary of Social Events
The Cabinet will now be known as The Aristocrats.
What about all those UK Pakistani rape gangs?? What? Nothing? UK police won't touch them...
How much of the Epstein hate is due to his being Jewish?
How much of the silence on the Pakistani rape gangs is due to the rapists being Islamic?
It's identity politics all the way down in the UK. Having a racist or sexist or anti-Semitic police force is dangerous to a free people.
Epstein is dead. The Pakistani rape gangs are still out there, grooming girls. But all the media hate is in one direction.
"We have as much evidence as there will ever be, but if you can show me the autopsy photos, I will take your chorus line argument more seriously, otherwise, the withholding of it says that it is damning."
I already said it's possible he was murdered. Even if he was murdered, however, where's the evidence that it was done by powerful ex-"clients" who were trying to silence him? It easily could have been just a typical prisoner murder that happened because people hate child-abusers. But believe what you want.
Nothing can stop the Duke of Earl
John Henry, there is some precedent in England for dealing with Kings named Charles, you know..
He must be a british version of a conservative. Because NO democrat will be arrested.
“Andrew still hasn’t been arrested for raping teens. He was arrested for allegedly giving Epstein confidential UK economic info.”
Sometimes the white collar crimes are easier to prove. Like Capone getting convicted for tax evasion.
It’s astonishing how much accountability seems to be possible once you cross the Atlantic.
Will Ghilaine Maxwell testify at this trial? If so, lots of stuff will have to be unreacted.
A Statement from His Majesty The King
"I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.
Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.
As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all."
Charles R.
Obviously Andrew was arrested by Starmer to spread the heat away from all his Epstein associated cabinet members. A desperate flailing act.
