  "summary": "Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, King Charles' younger brother, has launched a legal action against Thames Valley Police over his February arrest. He was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, relating to allegations that he sent confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein. Mountbatten-Windsor has asked a judge to determine whether the police force's action towards him was lawful.\n\nAccording to the Daily Maverick, Mountbatten-Windsor has lodged a judicial review in connection with the search warrants that allowed police to raid his home on the Sandringham Estate and his former residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor. A judicial spokesperson confirmed that a hearing would take place.\n\nMountbatten-Windsor, the second son of the late Queen Elizabeth, has denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, and said he regrets their friendship. He was questioned all day by detectives from Thames Valley Police after being detained.",
