Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor won a procedural victory on Thursday when a London judge ruled the warrants police used to raid his two homes in an Epstein-linked misconduct investigation were unlawful, a decision that could affect how investigators handle the seized evidence.
Justice Nicholas Hilliard confirmed the warrants were unlawful after Thames Valley Police and Mountbatten-Windsor agreed they used the wrong legal provision. The former prince, stripped of his royal titles in 2025, was not in court. The ruling did not end the criminal investigation or establish that the underlying allegations were unfounded.
