Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor asks High Court to quash search warrants

newsOct 5, 202637436

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has launched a judicial review asking the High Court to quash the search warrants Thames Valley Police used at his Sandringham and Royal Lodge homes. The warrants were issued by a judge at the Central Criminal Court on 18 February and preceded his arrest on 19 February on suspicion of misconduct in public office; he was interviewed under caution and released under investigation. His legal challenge names the chief constable of Thames Valley Police and the Central Criminal Court and seeks a ruling on the warrants' lawfulness. A court hearing to consider the bid is scheduled for Thursday afternoon and will begin in private. Thames Valley Police said it is engaged in legal proceedings about warrants previously obtained from the Central Criminal Court and that its investigation is continuing. Mountbatten-Windsor, who lost his princely title and the Dukedom of York over his links to Jeffrey Epstein, has consistently denied any wrongdoing in those associations.

You know there’s new evidence if he’s crying foul.

For someone as arrogant and vain as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the fact that this image is going to be the one that defines his entire life cannot be an easy pill to swallow. 😂

Screencap of BBC News headline card featuring the now famous image of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor attempting to hunker down in the back of his car, as he's driven out of Sandringham, in a vain attempt to avoid being photographed but only contriving to make himself look like a cornered rat as the photographer's flashlight highlights his ghastly visage.

Excellent picture...but I think I prefer this one!

You'd think he would be sensible and slink away into some corner and take a low profile. His arrogance clearly doesn't allow him to think himself lucky to be alive, free, and living in comparative luxury.

Mark Clay1

He's clearly having trouble getting to grips with the realisation that the world doesn't revolve around him.

It's weird that Andrew is vain to begin with. He's been a certified uggo, amongst other things, his entire life.

He can’t help himself from jumping up to remind us all yet again what an odious entitled twat he is.

That should be fun, get him in the witness box under oath.

That could be interesting and enlightening in court, if Met call his bluff and force it to court rather than an out of court settlement.

Amazing how some private citizens can afford to sue the police. Especially when they don’t seem to have a job. I hope no tax payer money is helping to fund this

He wants a judicial review to consider the legality of the search warrants? I'd like a court to review the reams of evidence about his activities with Epstein.

We often bash the ABC nowadays for being a bit tabloidy but a big shoutout to whoever decided to use this photo of the Andrew formerly known as prince.

Wait, the former prince launches action against police on the same day as Lutnik's whistleblower died by 'suicide'? #EpsteinFiles

A quirk of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's use of the Central Criminal Court to challenge the search warrant is that the City of London owns the court, and the Lady Mayor of London may sit in the central chair. Conventionally they don't for trials, but must be tempting this time.

"Challenging the legality of search warrants". Literally the same defence used by Freddy Krueger.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... Dude. Just leave it. Even among sex offender cases you've had literally the lightest possible consequence, you lost your title and were forced to move to a slightly smaller castle 🙄 But no, the fucking narcissistic victim complex is too strong.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing in his associations with Jeffrey Epstein. Paying £12 million hush money to someone he says he never met detracts somewhat from his protestations. #SweatyNonce

Their sense of entitlement is astounding you would think he would wisely want to just totally disappear from public view but nope.

Alex McD2

That 5 word review deserves 5 stars. ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

His entitlement proceeds him... as always.

Hopefully, this won’t end well for him. Desperate measures, let sleeping dogs lie, etc, etc.

He’s a dimwitted, arrogant person that should shutup, yet here we go! He’s attacking police…seriously🤷‍♀️ I hope the police gps unite/investigate and are able to prosecute him for his lack of good character and offences! CPS can actually shine on this one! Sex/Trade Secrets/Bribes/Investments…

@legalclaret.bsky.social

It appears Mr MW is seeking a judicial review of his arrest and search warrants. What does that actually mean? Firstly, he is essentially asking a court whether the warrant was properly issued. There are many reasons why it may not have been - misinformation given, or wrongly decided.
