Thames Valley Police are investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Duke of York, over allegations of inappropriate behavior towards a woman at the Royal Ascot event in Berkshire, England, in 2002. This inquiry follows a report by The Sunday Times, which noted that the incident occurred during a significant royal occasion attended by Queen Elizabeth II, who was celebrating her Golden Jubilee that year. The police have stated they are pursuing all reasonable lines of inquiry, including allegations of sexual misconduct and misconduct in public office. Andrew's past role as the UK's special representative for international trade, which he held from 2001 to 2011, has come under scrutiny, particularly due to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which led to his resignation. The investigation is expected to be complex, particularly in determining whether Andrew held a public office during the time of the alleged misconduct. Police have also executed searches at his residences and requested documents from the U.S. Department of Justice related to Epstein, but have yet to receive any material. Andrew was previously detained on suspicion of misconduct in public office but has denied any wrongdoing.
