Princess Anne carried out a scheduled visit to a Leeds prison just hours after her brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Police said a man in his sixties was detained and properties were searched as part of the investigation into alleged sharing of confidential government documents. Andrew denies wrongdoing. King Charles said the law must take its course while the royal family continues official duties amid the ongoing probe.
