About this listen

A shocking morning for the UK, with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor being held in custody.

Police have been investigating allegations the former Prince shared confidential information with late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The BBC understands Police gave advance warning of his arrest to the Home Office – the UK government's internal affairs department.

It says his brother King Charles wasn't told of the arrest in advance, but he's released a statement saying the law must take its course.

UK correspondent Vincent McAviney told Ryan Bridge this marks a huge day.

He says you have to go back about 350 years since a member of the Royal Family was captured in any way.
