King's funding for Andrew not to be used for legal action against police
The King’s private allowance for Andrew cannot be used for the judicial review, and lawyers say the case could cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.
- Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is challenging search warrants used by Thames Valley Police during his February arrest, with a High Court judicial review scheduled for Thursday, October 8.
- Thames Valley Police arrested Mountbatten-Windsor on February 19, 2026, on suspicion of misconduct in public office after emails in the Epstein files allegedly showed he shared confidential trade information with Jeffrey Epstein.
- Legal expert Mark Stephens of Howard Kennedy told Newsweek that Mountbatten-Windsor could face costs of roughly $265,000 if he loses, while King Charles III clarified he will not fund the legal action.
- The hearing will take place Thursday at the High Court before Justice Nicholas Hilliard, with Thames Valley Police applying to keep certain proceedings private.
- Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly feels "buoyant" and "utterly convinced" he will be "completely exonerated," marking the second time in four years a royal has sued the British state.
