Former Prince Andrew appeared tense while leaving jail hours after he was arrested due to his connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
The 66-year-old was photographed with his eyes wide open as he attempted to hide in the backseat of a car leaving Aylsham Police Station in the United Kingdom on Thursday.
A male driver and an unidentified man accompanied him.
Earlier in the day, Andrew was released from jail shortly after he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office while working as a British trade envoy.
He was accused of allegedly sharing confidential trade documents with Epstein.
The former royals, whose birthday was also on Thursday, can face up to life in prison if convicted.
Officers arrived and surrounded Andrew’s home, the Sandringham Estate, in eastern England, at around 8 a.m. local time.
One investigator was photographed with a police-issued laptop.
Authorities arrived in unmarked vehicles, and two of the cars left about 30 minutes later with Andrew’s security team following shortly behind.
Additionally, a search was carried out at the property and Andrew’s former Berkshire home, Royal Lodge.
