A London judge has ruled that search warrants used by Thames Valley Police to seize property from the former Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) were unlawful. The ruling comes after both the police and Mountbatten-Windsor's legal team agreed that a significant error was made during the warrant application process. The searches were conducted in February 2026 following Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein. The invalidation of these warrants may impact the admissibility of evidence in future legal proceedings.
