A timeline of former Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, from the Virginia Giuffre lawsuit to his arrest in 2026

What happened: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, was arrested by Thames Valley Police at a royal home in February 2026 on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Why it matters: The ruling on the warrants is a setback for the investigation, which Thames Valley Police says continues. King Charles said at the time of the arrest that the law must take its course and that authorities had the royal family's full support and co-operation.
