  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.

  • I've spent the last three decades trying to better understand money across the boardroom,

  • the newsroom, and the trading floor.

  • That's longer than most podcast hosts have been alive.

  • But even I've got questions.

  • Join me, Maren's on set web every week for my show, Maren Talks Money, from Bloomberg Podcasts,

  • where I have in-depth conversations with fund managers,

  • strategists, and experts about how markets really work.

  • and join me for a separate episode where I answer listener questions on how to make those markets work for you.

  • Follow Merrington's money on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

  • You will hear a moment of breaking news happening just as we were recording it,

  • which is Prince Andrew, formerly Prince Andrew, Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor,

  • being released from the police station where he'd been held in custody throughout the day on Thursday,

  • where he's under investigation for misconduct in public office.

  • Thames Valley Police put out a statement as we were recording,

  • saying that he'd been released under investigation and that they had finished searching some of his properties,

  • but some of the searches would continue and that there'd be no further updates on the investigation.

  • in the very short term.

  • And a photographer managed to snatch a photo of Prince Andrew in the back of the car

  • as he was driven away from the police station.
