Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has initiated legal action against Thames Valley Police in regard to search warrants which are related to his February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
Former Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office following the disclosure of documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s case in the US. He was subsequently released for investigation.
Now, his solicitors are contesting the validity of search warrants which were executed in premises associated with him including Marsh Farm, Sandringham and Royal Lodge on Windsor estate. The legal challenge was first reported by the Telegraph.
