Deep Dive

Today, police arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The former Duke of York can be questioned and held without charge for up to 24 hours from the moment he arrived at the police station this morning.

Andrew's new home - Wood Farm on the King’s Sandringham estate - is currently being searched by Thames Valley Police, along with his former residence, Royal Lodge in Windsor.

As this story continues to unfold, we're bringing you a previous edition of Deep Dive, in which Sarah Vine sat down with historian and author Andrew Lownie, whose revelatory book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York set much of what we're witnessing today in sharp relief.

Following the explosive revelations in the latest release of Epstein files, historian Andrew Lownie joins Sarah Vine to unpack what we know. The conversation covers the evidence that Epstein ran a blackmail operation with Russian intelligence connections, the wider royal family's knowledge of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's activities, institutional cover-ups, and whether King Charles will address the crisis. Lownie argues this scandal surpasses Profumo in scale and represents a grave threat to public trust in British institutions.

ON January 19th 2026, the showbiz and celebrity world was rocked by a series of Instagram stories from Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham.
There had long been reported a rift and unease between his parents, David and Victoria Beckham and that of his wife Nicole Peltz and her hugely wealthy and powerful family. Nothing however, prepared the world for what unfolded. Accusations of control and coercive behaviour, legal threats, displaced dogs and inappropriate wedding dances. To say it was a wild bolt out of the blue is an understatement. Celebrities simply don't behave like this in public... and certainly not the Beckhams.

In the episode of Deep Dive, the Daily Mail's contributing Editor Showbiz and podcaster Jamie East dissect the news and contemplate what impact this will have on Britain's unofficial Royal Family.

In the early hours of January 3, 2026, the unthinkable happened. Under cover of an electronic blackout, U.S. forces launched a lightning operation into Caracas and seized Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, flying him out of the country without a single American casualty.

Political Reporter Jon Michael Raasch is joined by Chief Foreign Correspondent Andy Jehring, reporting from the Colombia-Venezuela border, to unpack the raid, the reaction on the ground, and what these events mean for the wider-region.

Former Vietnam War fighter pilot Raymond Wagner toggled the radio transmit button on the right hand side of his Boeing 747-121's control yoke. 'Clipper 103 requesting oceanic clearance', he intoned, using the modulated aviation voice he'd honed over several decades flying. On the other end was Alan Topp, the Scottish Air Traffic Controller working more than 50 miles away in Prestwick, west of Glasgow.The time was 6:58pm on December 21, 1988.They were the last words recorded from Pan Am Flight 103.Within five minutes of that transmission, all the passengers and crew aboard were dead, killed by a bomb that destroyed the aircraft as it flew over the Scottish town of Lockerbie.
