First criminal investigation of a senior British royal in centuries

Rule Changes

Filed the complaint that led to the police investigation

Nearly four centuries ago, the last time British police arrested a senior royal, the monarch lost his head. On February 19, 2026, Thames Valley Police arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew and brother of King Charles III, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He's the first senior royal to face criminal investigation in modern history. The next day, police executed search warrants at Royal Lodge, a 30-room Windsor estate, and Wood Farm in Norfolk, seizing potential evidence.
