So you would expect all members of the Royal Family, my goodness, if nobody else, to make sure they're never charged with offences of the Crown.
So I don't think anybody could have imagined a senior member of the Royal Family.
I mean, Prince Andrew was, former Prince Andrew, was close in line to the throne that you would see a member of the Royal Family in a police station.
Goodness knows for how long, although I should quickly interject, the maximum you can be held
is 96 hours, four days.
It's 20 years since these rules were first introduced in response to some bomb threats that involved using liquids on planes.
And because of that, we then have had the last 20 years of these rules that we've had in place.
What has changed is that across the UK
All of our airports are now upgrading to new, ever more sophisticated scanners.
These CT scanners can detect liquids that are a problem in much, much better detail.
So this means that no longer are we going to have to take our liquids out of our hand luggage.
And now with Heathrow, this is the first big airport in the world that will allow you to take up to two litres in your hand luggage.
And that's a real game changer.
It has, yes.
I mean, it was 2019 when Boris Johnson first said that he wanted this to happen at all UK airports.
Of course, we then had the pandemic and like much of the travel industry, airports were devastated by that.
And so because of that, the rules were then basically, okay, we'll give you a bit more time.
The likes of Heathrow, they've had to spend a billion pounds on this new system because not only are these CT scanners obviously very expensive bits of kit, but they're also extremely heavy.
So it's cost a lot of money, but it does mean now that hopefully this system will be much easier for us travelling out of the UK.
Of course, always to remember that not everybody has them coming back in.
