POLICE SEARCHES OVER ANDREW EPSTEIN LINKS CONTINUE

Police are continuing searches at Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's former home, after he was released from custody.

King Charles's brother was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

He's been released 'under investigation', over allegations he shared information with convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein when Andrew was a UK trade envoy.

He has always denied wrongdoing.

There are some calls for King Charles to go further with public comments on the issue than a statement released after Andrew's arrest, but Constitutional Expert Dr Craig Prescott thinks that would be premature.
