King's reaction to A Very Royal Scandal as Prince Andrew heaps 'further embarrassment' on the royals

ok.co.uk:

The Duke of York's infamous Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis has become the subject of a second high-profile TV drama in less than 12 months.

A Very Royal Scandal is Amazon Prime's new three-part series which documents the lead-up and days that followed Prince Andrew's interview which saw him be asked about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.The new series, which comes after the release of Netflix's Scoop back in April, sees the story re-examined as a leading royal expert looks at how Prince Andrew is the "problem that refuses to go away" and will prompt further "embarrassment" for King Charles and the rest of the Royal Family.

As the show is released, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond spoke exclusively to OK! about how the Firm will feel about the interview being back in the headlines. "Andrew really is the problem that refuses to go away," Jennie says. "I’m sure the King, and indeed Andrew, wish the interview had never taken place, even though Andrew was so pleased with it immediately after the filming." Looking at how this show is different from Netflix's Scoop, Jennie says the reason behind this is Emily Maitlis' involvement. "As Emily was so involved with this show – as opposed to the last one – it’s getting much more publicity than I imagined it would. "It promises to fill in quite a few blanks around the making of the interview and Andrew’s demeanour before, during and afterwards.
