British police acknowledged on Thursday that search warrants secured for properties linked to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor were issued unlawfully and must be quashed. The legal error regarding the warrants affects properties tied to the 66-year-old former royal, who is King Charles' younger brother.
Despite the successful legal challenge against the warrants, authorities confirmed that the broader police investigation into Mountbatten-Windsor remains ongoing. A London-based judge emphasized that the procedural error does not bring the overall investigation to an end.
