Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office Thames Valley Police, an agency that covers areas west of London, including Mountbatten-Windsor’s former home, said it was “assessing” reports that the former Prince Andrew sent trade reports to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2010. The assessment followed the release of millions of pages of documents connected to a U.S. investigation of Epstein. Read more.

What to know: The police force did not name Mountbatten-Windsor, as is normal under U.K. law. But when asked if he had been arrested, the force pointed to a statement saying that they had arrested a man in his 60s. Mountbatten-Windsor turned 66 on Thursday. “Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office,’’ the statement said. ------------ Amazon UK http://tiny.cc/ubns001 Amazon USA http://tiny.cc/mdns001 Amazon Canada http://tiny.cc/7ens001 Amazon Australia http://tiny.cc/cfns001 Amazon India http://tiny.cc/xfns001 ------------
