And get to some breaking news that is happening as we speak in the United Kingdom, where it is on its way towards lunchtime on a Thursday.

The reports are that Prince Andrew, the former Prince Andrew, has been arrested.

The suggestion is that police have arrived at the former Prince's home.

Now, this information is very fresh to us right now.

It is the BBC who is making this reporting as we speak.

But Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, as he is to be known now, of course, the former Prince Andrew, all of the questions that have surrounded his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, all of the questions that have extended into potential domestic consequences that may be for him in the United Kingdom.

Now, we will learn over the next hour exactly what has taken place.

But eight officers have arrived at his home in the past few minutes.

They've arrived in six separate Metropolitan Police vehicles.

Now, one of the accusations that was being levelled at the former Prince Andrew is that when he was the trade envoy and he was, for the best part of more than 10 years, he was representing the UK government.

Now, obviously, he was above party politics as to whether that was a Conservative government or a Labor government.

But amazingly here, that question of misconduct in public office is what this all connects back to, because some of the suggestions have been that information that he may well have learnt in the privileged position of being the trade envoy, he may well have spoken about that information outside of the areas that he was supposed to be doing so potentially even with Jeffrey Epstein.

But again, we will see all of this play out in the next little while.

Now, we know that the former Prince Andrew has said of any and all allegations that have made, been made about him in the past in relation to his proximity and allegations in and around Jeffrey Epstein that he has claimed to be innocent.

Well, this is, again, a very different take on things and one that it does not require what the United States authorities have been able to find out.

It is not related to the investigations that have happened in the Parliament in the United States, which, of course, has been very active, but

of course, he's not an American citizen, so he hasn't been able to be compelled to learn more about this.

Now, at this stage, the police arriving and again, the report from the BBC is the term arrested.

Now, arrested simply obviously means in the earliest of moments here, that this is somebody being engaged with by the police.

Now, whether the questioning is taking place at his home right now, we assume that to be the case.

Now, remember, of course, he was formerly in that cottage.

He then was moved to the Sandringham estate, which is still owned by the Royal family.

But the expectation was that either the King himself or some arrangement had been made for him to be moved to that different, smaller and much more secluded property than the one that we have seen in the past, one that he has shared on and off at times with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson.

This is the location of what is taking place right now.

I've got a feeling we're going to be dipping in and out of this a lot in the next little while.

So if we're mid conversation with anything we have planned this evening, we return to this and return to it instantly.

But the images that are coming through is the police arriving and, and

then we understand upon the arrival inside the home, him to be arrested.

That is the beginning of the process of at the very least questioning him or forcing him into a scenario of being questioned, all going back to his time as the trade envoy for the United Kingdom, when he would represent the United Kingdom government again, regardless of politics, the Royal family being above politics of the day, him being able to move in the upper echelons of multiple societies, perhaps armed with information that may well have been of use to others.

there is no evidence to this point, so I am simply speaking to the possibility of what could be the basis here is whether the information that he used, he was able to in any way, shape or form use to improve his personal or somebody else's circumstances.

The breaking news tonight is that the former Prince Andrew is currently talking with police at his home on the fringes of Sandringham Estate.

There will be much more that comes to air in the next hour.

The second we know more, you will as well.
