Prince Andrew Stripped of Royal Titles Amid Epstein Scandal Probe

Prince Andrew, the former British royal, has been released from police custody after being questioned in connection with an ongoing investigation.

The Duke of York was detained and later released "under investigation," a status that allows authorities to continue their probe without filing formal charges. Initial reports did not name him directly, referring only to a "man in his 60s."

The investigation includes searches at two addresses linked to the suspect. It is examining allegations that in 2010, Andrew provided trade reports to the late American financier and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

Interest in this episode was renewed following the public release of a large cache of U.S. court documents related to the Epstein case. Authorities are investigating potential abuse of position during Andrew's time in public office.

The prince has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

He has stated that he regrets his association with the notorious financier.

Andrew was previously stripped of his royal titles and military affiliations due to the scandal surrounding his ties to Epstein.
