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.

What does New Zealand and David Hasselhoff have in common?

The answer, is TV producer Alex Breingan.

He has been hit with a raft of Serious Fraud Office charges... and is the same guy whose production company, Stripe Studios, owed the Baywatch star money.

Turns out, he might owe a lot more people, a lot more.

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald Media Insider Shayne Currie is with us to take us through the rise, and falls, of this high-flying, Kiwi producer.

How a Kiwi TV producer made a Hollywood escape amid fraud charges

Fixing the leaks, not just buying bigger mops.

That’s the theme of the National Infrastructure Plan released today.

It looks at 17 sectors covering central government, local authorities, and commercially regulated utilities.

The 30-year outline sets out how New Zealand can improve the way it plans, funds, maintains, and delivers infrastructure... and guess what, it turns out we don’t do it very well.

Each year we invest just over $20 billion on infrastructure, yet on a dollar-for-dollar basis we achieve less than many of our international peers.

Today on The Front Page,  New Zealand Infrastructure Commission Chief Executive Geoff Cooper will take us through this mammoth report.
