Ex-Prince Andrew challenges validity of Epstein-related search warrants

London — Disgraced former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has launched a legal challenge over search warrants for his royal homes that were issued before his February arrest, Britain's judiciary confirmed Monday.
The judiciary confirmed that the U.K. High Court was to hold a private hearing on Thursday, as King Charles III's brother challenges Thames Valley Police over the searches carried out in Windsor, west of London, and Sandringham, in eastern England.
The force arrested Andrew on his 66th birthday on Feb. 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office, related to his links to the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein .
