Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor loses prestigious award following arrest

Police commentator reveals how long Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor can be held by police

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has given back a royal Norwegian order that the former prince received almost four decades ago, Norway's palace confirmed on Thursday.
The Order of St. Olav, Norway's most prestigious peacetime award, recognises distinguished service by its recipients, and was bestowed on then-Prince Andrew in 1988.
"Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has chosen to return his order," a palace spokesperson in Oslo said.
The King’s brother has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office following allegations that he shared sensitive information with Epstein as a trade envoy.
Police are conducting searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk as part of the ongoing investigation.
