The investigation into former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has intensified following his arrest on February 20, 2026, coinciding with his 66th birthday. Recent revelations indicate that police officers assigned to Andrew were instructed to provide security for a dinner party at Jeffrey Epstein's residence in New York in 2010, raising significant concerns about his connections to the convicted sex offender. The Metropolitan Police have stated they have not identified any wrongdoing by their protection officers 'at this time' (BBC News). As searches of Andrew's former home continue, calls for a judge-led inquiry into his links with Epstein are growing, with Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson acknowledging that such an inquiry is not ruled out but deemed premature due to the ongoing investigation (The Guardian).
