Britain’s former Prince Andrew has filed a legal action to quash warrants that led to searches of his residences. A judicial spokesperson confirmed that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor had filed a claim with the High Court in London and a hearing would take place Thursday. The Daily Telegraph previously reported that Mountbatten-Windsor was claiming that the searches conducted by Thames Valley Police may have broken the law. Mountbatten-Windsor has been granted permission to challenge whether the force acted lawfully over the searches relating to his arrest in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office following allegations that he shared sensitive information with Jeffrey Epstein during his time as the U.K.’s trade envoy.
A London judge says police who searched former Prince Andrew's properties in connection to Jeffrey Epstein agreed the search warrants were unlawful. Justice Nicholas Hilliard stated that Thames Valley Police made a significant error when applying for the warrant. The former prince, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. His lawyers are challenging the warrants, aiming to exclude evidence from any trial. King Charles III stripped him of his title last year. The investigation continues, with police confirming ongoing legal proceedings.
