Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of King Charles III, has reportedly been arrested by UK police.
He was taken into custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
In a statement released on Thursday, Thames Valley Police confirmed that a man in his sixties from Norfolk was arrested on February 19 over the alleged offence.
The police added that searches are currently being conducted at properties 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,” the statement read.
Although authorities did not officially identify the suspect, when asked whether Andrew had been arrested, the force referred back to its earlier statement confirming the detention of a man in his sixties. Andrew is 66.
Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said an investigation was launched following a detailed assessment of the allegation.
