Britain's King Charles said on Thursday that it was with "deepest concern" he had learned about the arrest of his younger brother, former Prince Andrew, adding that the law must take its course.

"I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the suspicion of misconduct in public office," Charles said in a statement.

"What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities... Let me state clearly: the law must take its course."

King Charles' younger brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office over allegations that he sent confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein.

According to a report by the BBC, at least six unmarked police cars and around eight plain-clothed officers arrived at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate in eastern England earlier on Thursday.

UK police generally do not publicly name suspects, but they provided details that identified the former prince, who has been under investigation over allegations that he passed documents to the late convicted sex offender while working as a trade envoy, according to Reuters.
