The Metropolitan police have arrested disgraced former UK ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, who has been under investigation over allegedly leaking sensitive government data to late financier and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Footage circulating online shows the ex-diplomat being escorted by detectives out of his home and driven away in an unmarked vehicle. While the arrest was corroborated by the Met, Mandelson was not explicitly named.

”Officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was arrested at an address in Camden on Monday, February 23 and has been taken to a London police station for interview,” a police spokesperson stated on Monday.

The Mandelson affair has dealt a heavy blow to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s team. The PM’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, took the fall for appointing Mandelson as UK ambassador to the US despite his known links to Epstein. The decision was ultimately “wrong,” and the disgraced peer has “damaged our party, our country, and trust in politics itself,” McSweeney said while announcing his resignation.

McSweeney’s exit was followed by Starmer’s communications director, Tim Allan, who said he stepped down to allow the prime minister to build a “new team.”

The British royal family and Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III, have also been hit by the new trove of Epstein documents. Already stripped stripped of his titles over his ties to the late sex offender, the ex-prince is now facing allegations of “misconduct in public office” due to allegedly supplying Epstein with sensitive documents. He was briefly arrested last week but released the same day after questioning.

Kirill Dmitriev, an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin, has called ex-UK Prince Andrew “satanic,” along with his “liberal Western friends,” citing newly released Jeffrey Epstein files containing an anonymous allegation that the former royal took part in torturing a child.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the younger brother of King Charles III, was stripped of his royal titles last year over his ties to the late sex offender. The scandal intensified this month after the US State Department released the final tranche of Epstein files, totaling more than 3 million documents.

One document features an anonymous FBI witness who claims they were “6-8 years old” when they were drugged and taken to “pedophile ring parties” in the mid-1990s attended by Andrew.

Kirill Dmitriev, aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin, has slammed UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and former Prince Andrew over scandals involving both the British government and royal family, including allegations linking them to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In a post on X on Monday, Dmitriev wrote: “Britons deserve better than Prince Andrew & Starmer.”

Separately, Dmitriev called on Starmer to step down, citing reports he let child sex offenders avoid charges while heading the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

“Starmer has to go,” Dmitriev wrote on X.

Starmer led the CPS from 2008-2013, and his record during that period has been heavily criticized due to the grooming gangs scandal involving groups of mostly foreign-origin men sexually exploiting children. The scandal first drew attention in the early 2010s, but Starmer’s government only launched a formal probe in mid-2025, though he repeatedly claimed he had improved CPS handling of such cases during his time there.

British police guarded the disgraced brother of King Charles III, former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, at a party with the now-late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Standard newspaper reported citing Epstein files.

Metropolitan Police officers were ordered to provide security at a dinner hosted by Epstein at his New York residence, where Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was a guest, according to the newspaper.

The event took place in December 2010. In letters to Epstein, Andrew's personal secretary requested the address where he would be staying and confirmation whether the house had space for both of his security personnel.

Following this, Andrew's security guards were given a code allowing them to enter and exit Epstein's New York residence. One email to Epstein from an unknown source stated that "The Duke's 2 protection officers along with the state security will all be here for tomorrow's dinner party."
