ALBAWABA - British police have arrested former Prince Andrew on suspicion of misconduct, local media reported on Thursday.

Earlier, the BBC said that cars were spotted outside Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor stays, on Thursday morning.

The arrest comes after Thames Valley Police revealed it was assessing as "quickly as possible" into claims that ex-Prince Andrew had shared confidential reports from his role as the UK's trade envoy with Jeffrey Epstein, the American sex offender.
