UK police have arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of committing misconduct in public office.

It comes after allegations the former prince shared confidential information with former financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein when he was a UK trade envoy, a role he held from 2001 to 2011.

Police searched his Sandringham home and former Royal Lodge residence.

He has since been released, after about 12 hours of questioning.

Today on The Front Page, Royal correspondent Gavin Grey joins us from Windsor to break down the latest on this disgraced royal.

A step forward for housing capacity in our largest city – or a step back on housing affordability? 

Auckland’s explosive debate over density planning has come to a head, with Housing Minister Chris Bishop making a U-turn on capacity limits. 

It’s all got to do with the controversial “PC120” plan.... which has been scaled back slightly to allow for 1.6 million homes to be built, as opposed to 2 million. 

But, what does that actually mean? And why have the rules to pack more homes into Auckland sparked such a fierce debate? 

Today on The Front Page, journalist Simon Wilson is with us to unpack the updated plans, the protests, and what it means for your backyard.
