Britain’s Prince Andrew has been arrested at his temporary residence on the Sandringham estate as part of an investigation into alleged links with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Thames Valley Police said the former royal was taken into custody after a “thorough assessment,” and a formal investigation has now been opened. The development marks a dramatic escalation in scrutiny surrounding the duke’s past associations and could have significant implications for the British royal family.
