The royals have a rich history of lawsuits, but Andrew’s action is different

So essentially, he's lodged a judicial review in connection to the search warrants, which were the documents that allowed the Thames Valley Police to raid his home on the Sandringham estate and his former home at Royal Lodge in Windsor.

Now, Windsor obviously is Windsor Castle, which is a royal residence.

Sandringham is a private property owned by the royal family.

Essentially, it was owned by the Queen.

It's now owned by King Charles.

So the legal question really is, is whether or not the Thames Valley Police correctly executed those warrants.

It's a little bit of a legal kind of glitchy thing.

It's not a grand lawsuit in the celebrity sense, but I suspect we're on a mission of... sort of exoneration here.

He's basically questioning the validity and the legal correctness that the searches took place.

You know, I think this is at first flush, it looks like an exercise in trying, I mean, I don't know that winning back the PR war is realistically any part of this, except in, you know, the most deluded of imaginations, but it's essentially an exercise in kind of trying to recast the validity of the police investigation.

kind of dragging him into it.

It's revenge for humiliation, I imagine.

And looking forward to getting to that.
