Affaire Epstein : le prince Andrew quitte la garde à vue alors que les perquisitions se poursuivent à Windsor 19.02.2026

Prince Andrew was released by Windsor police on Thursday evening after being arrested for "misconduct in public office," stemming from allegations that he transmitted confidential data to Jeffrey Epstein. The brother of King Charles III was detained earlier in the day, and while some searches at residences linked to him have concluded, the investigation into this unprecedented case continues. The BBC captured an image of the prince leaving the police station looking distressed. Windsor police confirmed the release of the sexagenarian, who had recently been asked to leave Royal Lodge by the King. The allegations involve the transmission of potentially sensitive information, including travel reports from his time as the UK's trade envoy to Asia between 2001 and 2011. King Charles III expressed "deep concern" but emphasized allowing justice to proceed.
