Police urge new witnesses to speak out in Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor inquiry

Officers searched two properties linked to the former Duke of York – Royal Lodge in Berkshire and his current home of Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate – and interviewed Mr Mountbatten-Windsor under caution.

British police appealed for witnesses Friday as they sought to broaden their investigation into potential offenses by the former Prince Andrew, including sexual misconduct.

Obviously, the best time for the police to have started quietly asking questions was shortly after Metropolitan police officers – Andrew’s close protection detail – ferried him back from a London nightclub to a house with some other friends in their 40s, and one young-looking 17-year-old girl.
