Former Prince Andrew found himself in the spotlight once again on Thursday as he was taken into custody due to his connections with the infamous Jeffrey Epstein. The incident left him visibly shaken.

Images captured Andrew sitting in the back of a vehicle, looking distressed, as he departed from the police station following his release.

His arrest coincided with his birthday, as authorities suspected him of misconduct in public office. This suspicion stemmed from his alleged communications with Epstein during his tenure as a British trade envoy.

In connection with the investigation, police also conducted searches at properties located on the royal estates in Windsor and Sandringham. Andrew had recently been residing at these locations after vacating the Royal Lodge earlier in the month.
