Search warrants that allowed police to raid Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's home earlier this year were 'unlawful', the former prince and Thames Valley Police have agreed.
Lawyers for the disgraced former Duke of York appeared in court on Wednesday in a bid to quash the warrants that led to his arrest over alleged misconduct in public office.
Court ruling on warrants
At a High Court hearing, Justice Hilliard said that 'agreement was reached between the claimant and Thames Valley Police that the search warrants were unlawful'.
However, the judge also noted that 'the fact that the search warrants were quashed does not bring an investigation to an end, or mean that the whole of the investigation was unlawful'.
Arrest and allegations
Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday following allegations that he shared sensitive information with billionaire paedophile Epstein. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
