Former Prince Andrew probe broadens to potential sexual misconduct allegations

Posted 10:50 AM, May 22, 2026


British police appealed for witnesses Friday as they sought to broaden their investigation into potential offenses by the former Prince Andrew, including sexual misconduct.

Thames Valley Police issued the statement as it updated reporters on its investigation into allegations of misconduct in public office by the former prince, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The force covers the area west of London where Mountbatten-Windsor lived for many years.

Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on Feb. 19 and held for hours as police questioned him about the allegations, linked to his friendship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The arrest was an extraordinary move in a country where authorities once sought to shield the royal family from embarrassment.

Mountbatten-Windsor has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.

At that time in history though, the male-dominated society was brainwashed into the 'Boys will be boys' attitude.

Thank goodness we've grown since then.

I don't think they're investigating Andrew for anything he with Giuffre or Epstein, since those activities didn't happen in the UK. It sounds like they've found something else, there must be other young women involved. Andrew has been a very bad boy!

Virginia Giuffre was 17 at the time she was forced to have sex with Andrew in Ghislaine Maxwell's London apartment.
