Former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has launched a legal challenge against a search warrant issued for his residence as part of an investigation into his ties to American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to the British judiciary.
Andrew filed for a judicial review of the warrant, which was issued by a Central Criminal Court judge on 18 February 2026. A closed hearing on the challenge is scheduled for Thursday at the High Court.
