King Charles III has immediately spoken out on the bombshell arrest of his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, signaling support for the authorities amid fresh revelations from the Epstein files that expose elite corruption at its core.
Andrew was arrested today, which also happens to be his 66th birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The arrest follows a police raid on his Sandringham home in Norfolk, with searches also conducted in Berkshire.
Thames Valley Police confirmed the development in a statement: “As part of the investigation, we have today (19/2) arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office and are carrying out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk. The man remains in police custody at this time. We will not be naming the arrested man, as per national guidance. Please also remember that this case is now active so care should be taken with any publication to avoid being in contempt of court.”

Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright added: “Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office. It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offence. We understand the significant public interest in this case, and we will provide updates at the appropriate time.”
The arrest stems from recently released Epstein files by the U.S. Department of Justice, revealing Andrew’s alleged sharing of confidential government documents with the convicted sex offender during his tenure as UK trade envoy from 2001 to 2011.

King Charles III, who stripped Andrew of his royal titles and honors last year, responded to the arrest by stating he supports a “full, fair and proper process” in the investigation, adding that he backs the authorities involved. This comes as the King faces mounting scrutiny over family ties to Epstein’s web, with sources indicating the palace is “deeply concerned” about ongoing revelations.
Charles’ statement read “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.”

Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing, but the Epstein connections run deep. Introduced to Epstein in 1999 through Ghislaine Maxwell, Andrew socialized with him at high-profile events, including at Windsor Castle and Sandringham House. He visited Epstein in New York in 2010 after the financier’s release from prison for soliciting prostitution from a minor—a decision Andrew later called a mistake.
Allegations intensified with claims from Virginia Giuffre, who said she was trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell to have sex with Andrew three times, starting when she was 17. Andrew settled a lawsuit with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability, but her posthumous memoir detailed the accusations, prompting Charles to evict him from his Windsor residence.
Emails from the files show Andrew forwarding reports from a 2010 Southeast Asia tour to Epstein, raising questions about misuse of his public role. Thames Valley Police launched inquiries after anti-royal groups highlighted these documents, leading to Thursday’s raid where six unmarked cars and plain-clothed officers descended on Wood Farm at Sandringham just after 8am.
King Charles’s own history of cozying up to Jimmy Savile, the notorious BBC presenter exposed posthumously as a prolific child abuser, has only amplified conspiracy theories swirling around the royal family’s Epstein entanglements.
For any of you not familiar with who one of King Charles' closest friends was, simply Google, who was Jimmy Saville.

Over two decades, Charles exchanged letters with Savile, seeking his counsel on everything from public relations strategies after major disasters to family dynamics, even passing Savile’s “media relations handbook” to the Queen and Prince Philip for review.
Savile, who raised millions for charity and was knighted in 1990, was a frequent guest at royal palaces and acted as an unofficial advisor, with Charles once calling him the “bloke who knows what’s going on.”

In light of Andrew’s deep Epstein ties—marked by shared social circles, confidential document leaks, and trafficking allegations—the Savile connection has fueled suspicions of elite protection rackets, where powerful figures shielded predators while victims were silenced, eroding public trust in institutions that prioritize bloodlines over accountability.

King Charles’ endorsement of the probe marks a calculated distance from his brother, whose “punishment” has been mocked as insufficient. Podcaster Joe Rogan recently slammed the leniency: “Poor guy. That’s so sad. They made him stay in that castle. Look how beautiful that place is.” Rogan highlighted Andrew’s continued luxury at the 30-room Royal Lodge, funded privately but still a far cry from real justice for Epstein’s victims.
Royal advisor John Bryan was previously caught on a hot mic stating Andrew “was fucking underage girls. That’s not cool.” Bryan, who initially defended Andrew, revealed he was “so pissed” upon learning the prince lied about his Epstein friendship and the allegations.
Giuffre’s death in April 2025, ruled a suicide, has fueled calls for deeper probes, with her family questioning the circumstances amid patterns of suspicious deaths tied to Epstein.
In the absence of arrests or prosecutions following the release of files, many of which were heavily redacted, wild theories have emerged online regarding Epstein’s activities.
As the saga unravels, it exposes how globalist networks protected the powerful for too long. With Trump’s DOJ leading the charge, real justice might finally dismantle these shadows, proving that freedom demands holding elites accountable—no matter their bloodline.
