Prince Andrew Held In Epstein-Linked Probe: Check His Net Worth And Income

Britain’s former royal Prince Andrew was arrested on Thursday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office linked to the wider Epstein files controversy. Police searches were conducted at properties associated with him, marking the first time a senior member of the modern British royal family has faced arrest. (Image: AP)

The investigation centres on claims that Andrew may have improperly shared confidential trade information during his time as a UK envoy, allegedly involving Jeffrey Epstein. Authorities say inquiries are ongoing and no formal criminal charges have yet been filed against him. (Image: reuters)

Prince Andrew’s public standing collapsed due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell (R). A widely circulated photograph with Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre (M) intensified scrutiny, while his controversial 2019 BBC interview triggered severe backlash and ultimately ended his role as a working royal.

Prince Andrew is the son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and the younger brother of King Charles III. He is also the father of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, retaining the title Duke of York despite stepping back from official royal responsibilities. (Image: AP)

Prince Andrew’s wealth has declined significantly over the past decade, with estimates placing his net worth around $5 million. A reported multimillion-pound legal settlement and the loss of royal allowances reduced his finances, leaving him far less wealthy than senior members of the royal family. (Image: AP)

His main residence is Royal Lodge in Windsor, a 30 room mansion, located on royal estate land, while he previously owned a Swiss chalet in Verbier that was later sold amid financial pressures. Earlier, he sold Sunninghill Park for GBP 15 million, one of his most significant personal financial gains. (Image: Guardian)

Today his income comes largely from a Royal Navy pension, possible state pension eligibility, and private financial support, along with investments that remain mostly undisclosed. Despite reduced resources, he continues to maintain a lifestyle associated with elite royal privilege. (Image: AP)

Prince Andrew is no longer a working royal and has lost military titles and patronages, while remaining under investigation following his arrest. The outcome will depend on police findings, with possibilities ranging from release without charge to formal prosecution if sufficient evidence emerges. (Image: AP)
