Former Prince Andrew Challenges Police Arrest Over Epstein Document Leak Allegations
Former Prince Andrew has initiated legal proceedings against Thames Valley Police over his February arrest on suspicion of leaking government documents to Jeffrey Epstein during his tenure as a trade envoy from 2001 to 2011. He denies any wrongdoing and regrets his association with Epstein. The legal action seeks a judicial review of the search warrants used to raid his residences at Sandringham Estate and Royal Lodge. The police continue to investigate the allegations, while Buckingham Palace has not commented.
