He said the royal family would cooperate fully with investigators and declined further comment while the case proceeds.
Andrew was arrested Thursday after revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein files raised questions about whether he shared confidential government information while serving as a British trade envoy. Police said searches were underway at properties in Berkshire and Norfolk.
King Charles stripped Andrew of his royal titles last year amid mounting scrutiny. If charged and convicted, misconduct in public office can carry a maximum sentence of life in prison under British law.
