In this special celebration, Sarah Vine is joined by the royal historian's royal historian Hugo Vickers to talk about his latest book, Queen Elizabeth II: A Personal History. A revelatory biography that doesn’t just chart the highs and lows of her reign but sheds new and unprecedented light on the woman behind the crown.

Iran's Supreme Leader is dead. Its military command has been shattered.

Yet five days into the American-Israeli assault, Iran is firing back - at Israel, at the Gulf, and now at Turkey. Dubai, long flouted as the safest place in the Middle East, has been hit by drone and missile strikes. Ali Khamenei's son has emerged as the favourite to replace him, but Israel threatened on Wednesday to assassinate any Iranian leader picked to succeed the Ayatollah.

Daily Mail Special Correspondent David Patrikarakos and US Senior Political Reporter Elina Shirazi break down the latest developments, what Iran's retaliation means for the region, and the questions at the heart of this crisis: who will now fill the political vacuum and what next for the Iranian people?

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.
