PRINCE Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have been seen for the first time since Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his birthday.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex began a two-day visit to Jordan to put a spotlight on efforts to support communities affected by conflict and displacement.
The couple, who stepped down as working royals in 2020, travelled with the director-general of the World Health Organisation as they kicked off their pseudo-royal tour.
Harry has yet to speak formally about his uncle’s arrest for misconduct in a public office.
In his memoir Spare, he wrote how despite his uncle Andrew facing allegations of sexual assault, there was no suggestion he lose his taxpayer-funded security.
It comes after a six-day police search of Andrew’s former home was finally completed on Tuesday night.
Harry’s uncle was taken into custody at the end of last week with officers scouring the 30-room property after they raided Andrew’s current temporary address at Wood Farm.
The 66-year-old spent 11 hours of his birthday in custody being quizzed by officers investigating his ties to paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein.
Thames Valley Police previously said it was reviewing claims Andrew allegedly shared sensitive information with his Jeffrey Epstein while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.
Cops also confirmed at the time that the force was separately probing allegations a woman was trafficked to the UK by Epstein to have a sexual encounter with Andrew.
Andrew has consistently and vehemently denied wrongdoing.
The humiliated royal’s brother, King Charles, said “the law must take its course” after expressing his “deepest concern” over the arrest.
The King released a lengthy written statement in the aftermath of his brother’s arrest, which it is understood Kate and William supported.
The King said: “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.
“What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.
“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.
“Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.
“As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not officially been heard from since Andrew was taken into custody.
However, on the day of the arrest Harry shared a “moment he looks forward to the most” in a video for charity WellChild.
In the video he described the annual charity awards hosted by WellChild as a “magical” celebration of children who face complex medical needs with “extraordinary joy.”
He has been patron of the national charity for seriously ill children for 18 years.
