Police apply to keep details of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor legal claim secret

Thames Valley Police have applied to restrict public access to documents in a legal claim by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Duke of York, who is challenging search warrants that led to his arrest in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly shared sensitive information with deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during his role as UK trade envoy; he has denied wrongdoing. A private High Court hearing is scheduled for Thursday to consider the police's bid to keep certain documents confidential, citing potential impact on their ongoing criminal investigation.
