Former Prince Andrew arrested over suspicion of misconduct in public office

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of King Charles III, was arrested in the United Kingdom on Thursday on a charge of suspicion of misconduct in public office.

For more on the fallout, host Scott Tong speaks to CNN’s Max Foster outside Buckingham Palace.
