Detectives continue to search the former residence of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in Berkshire following his release from custody on Thursday evening.
The former prince was arrested earlier in the day on suspicion of misconduct in public office in connection with allegations arising from documents linked to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew, the first senior royal in modern British history to be arrested, was held for approximately 11 hours before being released under investigation.
He was photographed appearing fatigued as he left Aylesham Police Station shortly after 7 pm.
Reports suggest that Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, could be required to provide statements to police as part of the ongoing inquiry.
