Former Prince Andrew looked horrified as he left jail Thursday evening following his arrest.

The disgraced royal — who turned 66 on Thursday — was pictured with a shocked expression as he attempted to hide in the backseat of a car driving out of Aylsham Police Station in the United Kingdom.

A male driver and an unidentified man accompanied him.

Earlier in the day, Andrew 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 the late convicted rapist and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

If convicted, the former Duke of York could face life in prison.

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.

“Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office,” Thames Valley Police Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright wrote in a statement.

“It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offence. We understand the significant public interest in this case, and we will provide updates at the appropriate time.”
