3 articles · Updated · bbc.co.uk · Oct 5

Summary

  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has launched a judicial review against Thames Valley Police, contesting the legality of search warrants used after his February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
  • The warrants covered searches at Marsh Farm in Sandringham and Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate after information emerging from U.S. Epstein files triggered the investigation.
  • Thames Valley Police confirmed it is engaged in legal proceedings over warrants obtained from the Central Criminal Court and said it could not comment further while the case is ongoing.
  • The 66-year-old was arrested on his birthday, taken to Aylsham police station and later released under investigation; police say the underlying inquiry is still continuing.
  • Mountbatten-Windsor, who lost his prince and Duke of York titles over his Epstein links, has consistently denied wrongdoing in his associations with Jeffrey Epstein.
