Just in terms of the latest from the rest of the royal family, whilst this news was breaking yesterday, the King was taking part in a public engagement at London Fashion Week.
He also released an official statement in which he said the law must take its course.
In London, Tiwa Adebayo, Bloomberg Radio.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is a member of the royal family in terms of lineage, but officially he was stripped of his royal titles back in October 2025.
Again, that is not an action with historical precedence.
There were even legal questions raised here in the UK about removing a title like that granted at birth.
And he has been the subject of a lengthy fall from grace.
It was also in October last year that King Charles asked him to move out of the Royal Lodge.
That's the home that he shared with his ex-wife, the former Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, since 2003.
This is perhaps the latest in a series of unprecedented developments for the former Prince Andrew, not just for him, but for the royal family and indeed for the country.
You really have to go back to medieval times for the last time a member of the royal family was arrested formally in this manner.
And this taking place on the prince's 66th birthday, the former prince's 66th birthday.

And we've heard from the local Thames Valley Police Service that they have confirmed that they today arrested a man in his 60s.
But as per the national guidance here in the UK, the police have not themselves named that arrested man.
