Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on February 19, 2026, on suspicion of misconduct in public office tied to Epstein files released by the US Justice Department, but released later that day without charges.
Documented Ties
Emails from 2010 show him forwarding confidential UK trade reports (e.g., Vietnam, Singapore trips), Afghanistan investment briefs, expense assessments, and “Overseas Bids” files to Epstein during his trade envoy role, violating confidentiality rules. Additional exchanges covered investment ventures like Green Park Group, Witan Holdings, an $8B cash-for-oil deal with UAE/Libya links (including Gaddafi aide), and China commercial plans.
Interactions
Post-2008 conviction, Epstein offered a “beautiful” 26-year-old Russian woman for dinner in 2010, to which Andrew replied he’d be “delighted.” A 2009 deposition noted his weeks-long stays at Epstein’s estate with daily massages; photos depict him with redacted women. He settled a 2022 civil suit with Virginia Giuffre without admitting fault and denies all wrongdoing.
Current Status
Already stripped of titles and evicted from Royal Lodge, he hasn’t commented publicly; King Charles says law must take its course amid ongoing UK searches and US calls for accountability.
