The word unprecedented has almost lost all meaning in the current news cycle,
with extraordinary events happening on a daily basis.
And yet, when the headlines broke this morning about the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor,
the former prince, former Duke of York, it still stopped us in our tracks.
We'll be doing a deep dive on this,
what it means for the monarchy and in legal terms, on the story tomorrow.
But to keep you up to date on this remarkable turn of events,
we're giving you a taste of the upcoming episode of our sister podcast,
The Royals, presented today by the royal editor of The Sunday Times, Roya Nicar.
She's been talking to the news reporter Charlotte Alt and Harry York,
deputy political editor of The Sunday Times.
They have all the latest on this new crisis for the House of Windsor.
Hello and welcome to The Royals,
the podcast where we give you insight into what happens behind the palace walls and why it matters.
I'm Roya Nika.
Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office.
This is an unprecedented moment in the history of the modern monarchy.
No longer just a royal crisis, it's now a test for the state.
To help me unpack all of this, I'm joined by Harry York,
deputy political editor of The Sunday Times, and Charlotte Alt, a news reporter at The Times.
