Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested – what happens now? | BBC Newscast

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested and is in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

King Charles says he "learned with the deepest concern" of Andrew’s arrest, adding "the law must take its course" – Prince William and Catherine are understood to support the statement.

Andrew has previously denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein; he has not responded to the BBC’s requests for comment on any of the specific allegations in relation to the release of millions of Epstein files in January.

Adam and Laura are joined by royal correspondent Jonny Dymond and home and legal correspondent Dominic Casciani.
