🇬🇧 Former Prince Andrew takes British police to court over the February searches in the Epstein case

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of King Charles III, has filed a High Court challenge against Thames Valley Police, seeking to quash the warrants used to search his homes, The Daily Telegraph reports. The UK judiciary has confirmed the case, with a private hearing set for Thursday.

Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office, over allegations that he shared sensitive information with Jeffrey Epstein while serving as the UK's trade envoy. He denies wrongdoing.

According to the Telegraph, it is the first time a member of the royal family has challenged the lawfulness of criminal proceedings against them since the trial of King Charles I, who was executed in 1649.
