Former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. It is the first time a senior member of the Royal family has been arrested and taken into custody since Charles the First in the seventeenth century.
King Charles did not respond to questions about the arrest - but earlier released a statement saying the 'law must take its course'. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as he is now known, was detained on suspicion of misconduct while acting as a UK trade envoy. The BBC World Service's Rob Watson updates Kathryn on the situation.
