Court rules Andrew's 2026 arrest warrants unlawful, but investigation continues
A UK High Court judge ruled that the search warrants used to raid former Prince Andrew's homes in February 2026 were unlawful. Thames Valley Police conceded the warrants were issued under the wrong statutory provision of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. Despite this ruling, the criminal investigation into alleged misconduct in public office continues, and police are seeking to retain seized evidence under alternative legal powers.
