Investigation Continues as Andrew Released After Historic Royal Arrest

Search efforts and inquiries remain ongoing after Prince Andrew was released under investigation following a day spent in police custody.

More than 19 hours after he was photographed reclining in the back seat of a vehicle upon release, the King’s younger brother remains at the centre of an active inquiry. The 66-year-old spent approximately 11 hours in custody on his birthday after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The development marked the first arrest of a senior royal in modern history.

Following his release, Andrew departed Aylsham Police Station after a lengthy period that involved hours of transport and waiting.

Although no charges have been filed, Andrew has been released under investigation — meaning he is free to resume daily activities for now, but remains subject to further questioning as inquiries progress.

Authorities continue to examine matters linked to properties associated with the Duke, including locations connected to the Sandringham Estate.

According to royal correspondent Helena Wilkinson, Andrew’s legal situation remains unresolved, and he may be required to return for additional interviews as the investigation develops.
