Prince Andrew Takes Police to Court Over Epstein Files Arrest (10/6/26)

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor launched a legal challenge against Thames Valley Police over the search warrants used during his February 2026 arrest in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein files. The former Duke of York, who was arrested at Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate on his 66th birthday and questioned for almost 12 hours on suspicion of misconduct in public office, asked the High Court to review whether police acted lawfully when they obtained warrants to search Marsh Farm and his former residence at Royal Lodge. Detectives spent several days searching the properties and seized documents and other material. The investigation stemmed from Epstein-related records that reportedly suggested Andrew may have provided Epstein with sensitive government information while serving as Britain’s special representative for trade between 2001 and 2011, including reports about overseas visits and a confidential briefing concerning investment opportunities in Afghanistan. Andrew had not been charged and remained under investigation.

Andrew’s legal team was specifically challenging the validity of the warrants rather than simply contesting the broader investigation, and a High Court judge had already granted permission for the judicial review to proceed. A private hearing was scheduled to determine whether documents connected to that challenge should be released. The investigation itself was also facing complications because, according to the report, the U.S. Justice Department had not provided British authorities with unredacted versions of relevant Epstein records, potentially leaving investigators dependent on a lengthy formal international request. Thames Valley Police had meanwhile widened its inquiry to include allegations of sexual misconduct and appealed for additional witnesses to come forward. The case therefore placed Andrew in the unusual position of simultaneously remaining the subject of an active Epstein-related police investigation while asking the courts to rule that some of the investigative measures used against him were unlawful.
