In a significant escalation, Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, specifically for allegedly sending confidential British government documents to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a trade envoy. Thames Valley Police are investigating claims that he forwarded reports in 2010 regarding potential business opportunities related to his role as the U.K.'s Special Representative for Trade and Investment. Andrew, who has denied any wrongdoing, was released from custody as the investigation continues. This arrest marks the first time a senior royal has been detained since King Charles I in 1647, further intensifying scrutiny of the monarchy's accountability in the UK and Commonwealth nations.
