Former Prince Andrew Arrested Over Epstein Probe, BBC Reports -- WSJ

Dow Jones02-19

By Gareth Vipers and David Luhnow

LONDON -- British public broadcaster the BBC said police had arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew, on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Thames Valley Police said Thursday they had arrested a man in his 60s and were carrying out searches at addresses in Norfolk and Berkshire.

Police in the U.K. don't normally name suspects when they are arrested.

Police didn't give any further details on the arrest, but disclosures about Mountbatten-Windsor's dealings with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have dominated headlines in Britain, with the former duke stripped of his titles and moved out of his royal residence in Windsor.

Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to his dealings with Epstein.

Buckingham Palace didn't have any immediate comment.
