Welcome to the News Hour. There were shockwaves across the UK today after the arrest of the former Prince Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in public office. His arrest reportedly linked to the latest release of the Epstein files.

Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor, as he's now known, was taken into custody at the Royal Sandringham Estate and later released.

An arrest of this magnitude involving the sibling of a reigning monarch has no precedent in modern British history.

We begin our coverage tonight with this report from correspondent Chris Schip and our partners at ITV News.

At breakfast time, a number of unmarked police cars arrived unannounced.

Their task to arrest the younger brother of King Charles.

Today is Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's birthday.

He has spent most of it in police custody answering questions.

By 10 a.m. this morning, Thames Valley Police confirmed they had made an arrest

on suspicion of misconduct in public office. At Royal Lodge in Windsor, where Andrew had been

living until the start of this month, black vans were filmed entering the grounds earlier today.

At midday, the first response from Buckingham Palace and the statement

was signed Charles R, meaning this was from the king himself. He spoke of how he had learned

with the deepest concern of his brother's arrest and insisted a full, fair and proper process

should follow in terms of the investigation.

The king repeated he was ready to fully cooperate with the police.

And then in the starkest way possible, he wrote,

let me state clearly the law must take its course.

And this afternoon, just as he pledged he would,

the king continued with his public engagements.

Do you have any reactions to the arrest of your brother, sir?

Your Majesty, how are you feeling after your brother's arrest?
