Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Seen for First Time Since Arrest

by

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly known as Prince Andrew) is stepping out following his arrest.

On February 19th, a 66-year-old man was briefly detained by police in Norfolk, England, on suspicion of wrongdoing related to his connections with the late Jeffrey Epstein. He was released from the Aylsham Police Station just hours later.

Wearing a cream-colored sweater and a green button-down shirt, Andrew—who maintains his innocence regarding any connection to Epstein—slumped in the backseat of a car as it left the police station.

Although Prince Andrew hasn’t spoken publicly about his arrest, his brother, King Charles III, has stated that the royal family is fully cooperating with the investigation and offering complete support.

The 88-year-old expressed deep concern after learning about allegations of misconduct in public office involving Prince Andrew. In a statement released on February 19th, they said they expect a thorough and fair investigation by the proper authorities.

Charles stated he couldn’t say more about the situation, but stressed that the legal process should be allowed to proceed.

He added, “Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.”

TopMob News has also learned that Prince William and Kate Middleton support Charles’ statement.

Andrew was arrested four months after stepping down from his royal duties. He explained his decision by saying the ongoing allegations against him were taking attention away from the King and the rest of the Royal Family.

With the King’s approval, I’m stepping down from my royal duties,” Prince Andrew announced in a statement last October. “I will no longer use the title Duke of York – which I received when I married Sarah Ferguson in 1986 – or any of the other honors I’ve been given.

Later that month, Charles stripped Andrew of his title of “Prince” and moved him from his official home to Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.

Buckingham Palace announced that The King and Queen want everyone to know they deeply sympathize with anyone affected by abuse, and will continue to offer their support to victims and survivors.

I’ve been thinking about how thankful I am. It’s like a release – letting go of fears, finding peace with sadness, and truly feeling what it means to be alive and connected to the natural world. Nature is a gentle guide, reminding us of the past and helping us heal.
