Secret “Midget Roulette Studio” Discovered Beneath Prince Andrew’s Seaside Villa

Authorities of Thames Valley confirmed that Prince Andrew was briefly detained on 19 February 2026 for questioning in relation to alleged administrative misconduct in a public office.

The inquiry centers on whether confidential diplomatic and commercial briefings were improperly shared during his tenure. Officials have not disclosed specific details but described the matter as procedural rather than criminal at this stage.

During coordinated searches of several of the Prince's properties in the Balkan area, investigators uncovered an unexpected feature beneath a renovated seaside villa. Hidden behind what appeared to be a traditional wine cellar was a fully operational live streaming studio equipped with theatrical lighting, multiple camera systems, soundproofed walls, and a dedicated control booth.

According to sources familiar with the investigation, the basement housed a recurring broadcast production titled “Castle Roulette.” The program featured a cast composed entirely of performers of short stature. Authorities noted that the production values were unusually high and appeared to have been operating on a regular schedule for an online audience.

In recent weeks, heavily edited photographs circulated online that appeared to show the Prince in questionable circumstances, prompting intense public speculation. However, officials reviewing the original, unedited images confirmed that the second individual present was an adult stage illusionist associated with the production. The edited versions had removed contextual details, leading to confusion about the nature of the images.

Investigators emphasized that the current inquiry is unrelated to any other international matters and cautioned against drawing broader conclusions. They also confirmed that no formal charges have been filed.

Prince Andrew was released after several hours of questioning. Legal analysts later reported that he retained a prominent transnational defense attorney known for representing high profile aristocrats, entertainers, and media entrepreneurs in complex regulatory cases.

Authorities stated that the investigation remains active and declined to provide further comment.
