Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has filed a High Court claim in London challenging warrants used to search two of his homes in February, with a hearing scheduled for Thursday, a judicial spokesperson confirmed.

The case names Thames Valley Police and concerns whether the searches at Royal Lodge in Windsor and a home on the Sandringham Estate were lawful, according to the Daily Mail. Several outlets reported that the challenge follows his February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in a public office in connection with material linked to Jeffrey Epstein. The New York Times described the action as a challenge to the legality of the warrants, while the New York Post said he also asked a judge to assess the lawfulness of police action toward him.
