Former British prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles II, was released by police after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, is the first British royal in over 350 years to be arrested. His princely title was revoked last year due to allegations of sexual abuse. Mountbatten-Windsor served as the UK’s trade envoy from 2001 to 2011, stepping down amidst controversy over his links to Epstein. The British royal family has a history of scandals, including Queen Elizabeth II’s “annus horribilis” in 1992 and Prince Charles’ affair with Camilla Parker Bowles. Princess Diana’s 1995 Panorama interview shed light on royal family issues.
