Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has filed a request with the High Court to annul the search warrants related to police investigations at his properties. The U.K. judiciary confirmed this development on Monday. These searches are part of an inquiry associated with the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Mountbatten-Windsor, previously known as Prince Andrew, is questioning the legality of the actions by Thames Valley Police. The police secured warrants to search his Sandringham Estate residence and his past residence, Royal Lodge in Windsor. This legal move was reported by The Telegraph and follows his arrest in February due to suspicions of misconduct in public office.

A legal hearing on this matter is scheduled to start later this week, where further details may be revealed regarding the former prince’s pursuit of legal recourse.

This is an ongoing story and will receive updates as more information becomes available.
