What happened

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has asked the High Court to cancel search warrants used before his February arrest over alleged misconduct linked to Jeffrey Epstein, the judiciary said.

Thames Valley Police arrested the 66-year-old on 19 February and released him later that day while its investigation continued.

Police searched his Sandringham home and former Royal Lodge residence in Windsor after obtaining the warrants.

A private hearing is scheduled for Thursday, when police will seek to limit access to court documents, the judiciary said.

Mountbatten-Windsor has denied wrongdoing related to Epstein, according to Cyprus Mail.
