Andrew Told Not to Use King's Money for Legal Action

The palace said the annual stipend is private support, not legal funding, as a judge weighs a bid to quash search warrants.

  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is launching a High Court legal challenge against Thames Valley Police to quash search warrants executed during his February arrest for alleged misconduct in public office.
  • Buckingham Palace confirmed that private funds provided by King Charles to Mountbatten-Windsor should not finance his legal action, emphasizing the Palace holds no role in the former prince's legal strategy.
  • Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his 66th birthday earlier this year following allegations he shared sensitive information with Jeffrey Epstein during his time as the United Kingdom's trade envoy; he has consistently denied wrongdoing.
  • A private High Court hearing will take place Thursday before Mr. Justice Hilliard to consider the validity of the search warrants, with the judge initially hearing a police request to restrict document access.
  • When the former prince was arrested, the King stated the "law must take its course." As a non-working royal, Mountbatten-Windsor remains responsible for his own defense while residing on the King's Sandringham estate.
