The police warrants used to search two properties belonging to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor have been declared unlawful. A High Court judge confirmed that the former prince and Thames Valley Police had agreed the warrants were unlawful.
Legal agreement reached in court
The ruling came after both parties reached an agreement during the legal proceedings. The judge's decision means the warrants, which had authorised searches of the two properties, were not legally valid.
Background to the case
The case involved warrants issued for searches at two of the ex-prince's residences. Thames Valley Police, the force responsible for the warrants, concurred with the assessment that they were unlawful.
The outcome of this legal challenge has now been formally recorded by the High Court, marking an end to this aspect of the dispute.
