Africa-Press – Cape verde. Andrew Mountbatten‐Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, has been arrested in the United Kingdom on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He is currently in police custody following a formal arrest by Thames Valley Police on 19 February 2026.
Police confirmed they arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk. He remains in custody while searches continue at properties in Berkshire and Norfolk. Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said a full investigation is underway and stressed the importance of protecting its integrity.

This is a developing story, and more updates are expected as the investigation continues.
