Concerns about Mountbatten-Windsor’s Epstein ties have dogged the royal family for years. After the arrest, Charles said that the law must take its course in the investigation of his brother.
The former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was the first royal since King Charles I nearly four centuries ago to be placed under arrest.
Despite being stripped of his status as prince in October, King Charles III's younger brother Andrew remains eighth in line to become monarch. That might change.
Records involving uncorroborated accusations a woman made against President Donald Trump were not among those released to the public.
