Andrew launches court action against police over Epstein raids

The former prince is challenging warrants used in raids on Sandringham and Royal Lodge, as Thames Valley Police says the case remains ongoing.

  • On Thursday, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will appear in the High Court to challenge the legality of search warrants executed during his arrest, a judicial spokesperson confirmed.
  • Thames Valley Police arrested Mountbatten-Windsor eight months ago on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office following allegations linked to the Jeffrey Epstein files.
  • Warrants issued by the Central Criminal Court allowed police to search his Sandringham Estate residence and former home at Royal Lodge. King Charles stripped his brother of royal titles last year over his association with Epstein.
  • Thames Valley Police stated it would be "inappropriate for us to comment further" while legal proceedings regarding the search warrants remain active and the investigation into alleged misconduct continues.
  • Mr Justice Hilliard will preside over the private High Court hearing, which focuses on a police application to restrict access to court documents; it remains unclear if Mountbatten-Windsor will attend.
