17:42Now PlayingAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk on 19 February 2026 - his 66th birthday - on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
He was later released under investigation, Thames Valley Police said.
In a statement, King Charles III said "the law must take its course". His royal duties alongside Queen Camilla have continued as normal.
Andrew's arrest came after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew has previously denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein; he has not responded to the BBC's requests for comment on the specific allegations in relation to the release of millions of Epstein files in January.
