EMERGENCY MEETING: 'Prince' Andrew's Arrest Is Not What You Think It Is

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested in the UK on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The former prince is the first senior British royal in modern history to be detained by police.

How did it happen? Why did it happen? And what does King Charles have to say about it?

On this extraordinary day for the Monarchy, we cross to Out Loud Royal Correspondent, Holly Wainwright for an Emergency Meeting.
