Britain’s former royal Prince Andrew was released under investigation hours after his arrest over alleged links to Jeffrey Epstein. Thames Valley Police said the 66-year-old was freed on Thursday evening after being held for about 11 hours. He was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Police said, “The arrested man has now been released under investigation.” This means he has not been charged. Searches at his Norfolk home have ended, but officers are still examining a property in Berkshire. King Charles III said in a signed statement, “The law must take its course.” Andrew has denied wrongdoing in past statements. (PC: NDTV)
