  "summary": "British police have quashed search warrants issued to search properties linked to Prince Andrew, the ex-Prince of Wales, following a legal error, according to a statement made on Thursday. The warrants, which were secured in February for the investigation into the 66-year-old royal's suspected misconduct in public office, are now deemed unlawful. The investigation stems from Andrew's relationship with the late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Despite the quashing of the search warrants, the investigation into Prince Andrew remains ongoing. This move comes after the royal launched a legal challenge to have the search warrants invalidated.",
