King Charles' younger brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, has initiated legal proceedings against UK police following his arrest earlier this year on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The arrest, which took place on his 66th birthday at his brother's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England, was prompted by revelations from the Epstein files in the United States.
Mountbatten-Windsor has requested a judge to determine if Thames Valley Police's actions were lawful. He has lodged a judicial review concerning the search warrants executed at his properties at Sandringham Estate and Royal Lodge in Windsor. A court hearing is scheduled for Thursday, according to British media reports.

CNN has contacted the UK Judicial Office for additional insight.
