   It seems the police have released the former Prince Andrew after several   
   hours in the police station. It is NOT clear of the circumstances: there   
   has been no statement that charges were going to be laid or that he has   
   been cleared of any charges.   
      
   Perhaps he was allowed to go on the understanding he would turn himself   
   in tomorrow; that's just me throwing out a possibility, nothing that   
   I've seen in the news.   
      
   It's not unusual in the UK for people to be questioned by the police -   
   and have their property inspected via search warrants - and then only be   
   charged weeks or months later as the police examine everything, talk to   
   witnesses, etc.   
      
   For example, the former First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, and   
   her husband underwent a corruption investigation that involved them   
   being arrested at their home with the police digging up their yard   
   looking for hidden evidence; two months later they were arrested and   
   then released but the inquiry continued for many further months; they   
   were eventually cleared.

   I'd be very surprised if Andrew was free and clear this soon. If that   
   happens, the media will be all over it screaming from the roof tops that   
   the fix is in and someone pulled strings to save him.
