Live video shows Andrew, the brother of the King of England, being released and leaving the police station in a car, half lying on the seat with a relaxed expression.

CCTV News On the 19th local time, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the younger brother of King Charles III of the United Kingdom,After being detained by British police for several hours, he was released and left the police station in a car.

Earlier in the day, Andrew was arrested on suspicion of “public misconduct.” Charles III issued a statement saying that the British royal family would “fully and firmly support and cooperate” with the police investigation. British sources said that a police car arrived at the Sandringham royal estate in Norfolk County, where Andrew recently lived, in the early morning of the 19th. But it’s unclear where Andrew was arrested.

It is reported that this operation is related to “significant progress” in the investigation related to the late American businessman Epstein’s documents. Previously, Andrew was accused of having a close relationship with Epstein and having sex with underage women in the mansion owned by the latter. Andrew denies such claims and claims to have long distanced himself from Epstein. Due to the scandal’s continued impact on the reputation of the British royal family, Andrew was stripped of his title, titles and honors in October 2025, and moved out of the royal residence where he had lived for more than 20 years in February this year. The latest released information shows that Andrew is also suspected of providing secret documents to Epstein.
