LONDON — British police have arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — formerly known as Prince Andrew — on suspicion of misconduct in public office, Thames Valley Police confirmed Thursday morning.
The arrest, believed to set a historical precedent in Britain, came on his 66th birthday. Officers were seen at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where the former prince has been living since being evicted from his sprawling royal residence. At least six unmarked police cars were photographed arriving at Wood Farm, his current residence on King Charles’s Sandringham estate, with around eight officers thought to be on site, the BBC reported. Searches were also conducted at an address in Berkshire, likely at the royal estate at Windsor where he previously lived.
