Prince Andrew, the brother of King Charles III, was arrested on Thursday, February 19, 2026, by Windsor police in connection with the ongoing Epstein affair. The arrest stems from allegations of "misconduct in the exercise of official functions." Simultaneous searches are reportedly underway at two English locations believed to be linked to these accusations. Thames Valley Police, which covers the Royal Lodge where Andrew previously resided, confirmed the arrest, as reported by Agence France-Presse (AFP). Further details are expected as the investigation progresses.
