Story summary

As of October 23, 2026, a High Court judge ruled that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor may have to give evidence in a fraud case involving businessman Selman Turk and Turkish national Nebahat Isbilen. The trial is set to begin in November. Ms Isbilen claims that Mr Turk misled her over a £750,000 payment made to Andrew, who was then the Duke of York, in 2019; this sum was later repaid by the Yorks to Mrs Isbilen in 2023. The judge's decision allows Mr Turk to seek evidence from Mr Mountbatten-Windsor and likely requires a witness summons if issued more than seven days before trial start. Andrew is not accused of any wrongdoing, but he has been drawn into the case due to business dealings with Mr Turk.
