Police Intensify Search of Mountbatten-Windsor’s Former Estate Following Arrest

Police search at Royal Lodge continues for second day as Andrew released under investigation.


British police continued an extensive search of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s former residence on Friday, one day after his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Officers were seen entering Royal Lodge and the Sandringham Estate as part of an ongoing investigation linked to his association with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Journalists gathered outside the properties as unmarked police vehicles arrived throughout the morning. 

Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was detained for roughly 11 hours before being released under investigation. Authorities have not filed charges, but the inquiry remains active, with searches now stretching into a second day. 

The arrest marks a significant escalation in the long‑running scrutiny surrounding his ties to Epstein. Police have confirmed that investigative efforts will continue as they examine allegations that the former prince may have shared confidential information with the disgraced financier.
