Netflix's latest series to give shocking insight into Prince Andrew's controversial Newsnight interview
- Replies 10
Prince Andrew has been in the headlines since his disastrous Newsnight interview in 2019, which saw him try to justify his close association with the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
‘There’s a slight problem with the sweating because I have a peculiar medical condition, which is that I don’t sweat, or I didn’t sweat at the time, and that was it, yes,’ the disgraced royal said when confronted with accuser Virginia Giuffre’s claim that he was sweaty when they danced at a London club.
But an upcoming Netflix series is aiming to offer a startling glimpse into Prince Andrew's contentious interview—with the added benefit of hindsight.
Following the immense popularity and success of A Very English Scandal, an exposé based on the fall of UK Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe, and A Very British Scandal, which told the shaming of the Duchess of Argyll, Margaret Campbell, Netflix is back with more royal intrigues.
Netflix's latest offering carries the apt title A Very Royal Scandal, which, according to reports, will delve into the circumstances around Prince Andrew’s highly publicised Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis.
Adding even more weight to the drama, Emily Maitlis herself, who conducted that unforgettable Newsnight interview, has been involved in the creation of this new show, providing her firsthand perspective for a more nuanced narrative.
A TV insider said: ‘It speaks volumes that the drama pitches the Prince Andrew saga as being among the greatest scandals of modern times.’
‘This new show will have added gravitas as Emily is involved in its creation and will lend her unique insight to the production,’ they continued.
‘It’s likely to be one of the most anticipated dramas, with everyone waiting to see who gets cast in the key roles—especially the prince himself.’
If you need a refresher on what happened during the interview, you can find the full video below:
The show will be viewed closely by the producers of Scoop, the upcoming Netflix series starring Gillian Anderson as Emily and Rufus Sewell as the disgraced royal.
Viewers of A Very Royal Scandal can expect to see a dramatic exploration of the background to the interview, including claims that Prince Andrew had sexually assaulted Virginia Giuffre when she was 17, which he denies.
In 2022, the royal and Giuffre settled a sexual assault case for an undisclosed sum.
It remains unclear when or where A Very Royal Scandal will air.
The new Netflix series is set to raise concerns anew about the royal family, including the age-old questions about Prince Andrew’s place under the reign of King Charles II and their position in our modern-day society. Will you be tuning in once it airs? Let us know in the comments!
