Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been released under investigation following his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, authorities have confirmed. Police said the arrest was made as part of an ongoing inquiry into allegations relating to conduct while holding a public position. He was taken into custody for questioning and later released while investigations continue. No charges have been filed at this stage.
In a brief statement, police emphasized that the investigation remains active and that releasing an individual under investigation does not imply guilt or innocence. Officers are continuing to gather evidence and have urged the public to avoid speculation.
Misconduct in public office is a serious common law offence that can apply to individuals who are alleged to have abused their position of authority. Legal experts note that cases of this nature often involve complex reviews of documentation, procedures, and decision-making processes.
A representative for Andrew stated that he is cooperating fully with investigators and denies any wrongdoing.
Further updates are expected as the inquiry progresses.
