King Charles retreats to Sandringham beside Prince Andrew as police widen misconduct probe
King Charles III has chosen to spend his Bank Holiday next to his disgraced younger brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor just two days after police issued a fresh statement regarding his investigation.
The Monarch, 77, was seen in the back seat of his electric Lotus Eletre as he was driven into Wood Farm in Wolferton on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk on Sunday at lunchtime. Wood Farm is adjacent to five-bedroom Marsh Farm, where Andrew has been residing since last month. It is understood that the King still has no plans to see his brother on the bank holiday weekend.
This follows Thames Valley police’s new statement on Friday, confirming they will consider allegations of sexual misconduct in their investigation into potential misconduct in public office.
Andrew has maintained a low profile since the Epstein Files were released late last year and was seen for the first time since Friday’s groundbreaking news, driving his Land Rover on the Sandringham estate on Saturday.
It is unclear if the King will meet with Andrew during his stay at Wood Farm. There has been no sight of Queen Camilla today.
Thames Valley Police Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright stated on Friday: "Our misconduct in public office investigation is ongoing. Misconduct in public office is a crime that can manifest in different ways, making this a complex investigation.
"Our team of very experienced detectives are working meticulously through a significant amount of information that has come in from the public and other sources. We are committed to conducting a thorough investigation into all reasonable lines of enquiry, wherever they may lead."
The force added that it was keen to speak to a woman who was allegedly flown to the UK by paedophile Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with Andrew. The allegations suggested a woman was taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes.
The force said it has reached out to her legal team, adding: "Should she wish to report this to police, it will be taken seriously and handled with care, sensitivity and respect for her privacy and her right for anonymity." Andrew has consistently denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on February 19, his 66th birthday, and interviewed under caution before being released under investigation. Searches were also carried out at his former homes in Windsor and Norfolk.
The ex-prince served as the UK’s special representative for international trade and investment from 2001 until 2011, when he stepped down amid controversy over his friendship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
