Ex-Prince Andrew Arrested on Suspicion of Misconduct
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of the UKs King Charles, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office after further details of his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein emerged.
Thames Valley Police confirmed that the force had opened an investigation into an offense of misconduct in public office, and had arrested a man in his sixties. Mountbatten-Windsor turned 66 on Thursday.
Emails released by the US Department of Justice last month showed Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly disclosing confidential government information to Epstein during his time as UK trade envoy, a position he held between 2001 and 2011, the BBC reported.
Mountbatten-Windsor has not been charged. Emails to a representative for his office werent immediately returned. The arrest of Mountbatten-Windsor appears to be the first of a UK royal since King Charles in the 17th century following his defeat in the English Civil War.

The contrast between the way our country is dealing with this is striking.
Bloomberg is now reporting about serious consideration being given to the U.S. striking Iran, and no one should be surprised if this becomes more likely, not because of Iran's possible intents of continuing its nuclear development, though that will be the cover story, but to distract away from the epstein connections, and those involved in this country.
