6 lines from the real disastrous Prince Andrew interview that ‘Scoop’ left out
NY Post
The disgraced prince is back in the hot seat.
The Netflix movie “Scoop,” (premiering April 5), dramatizes Prince Andrew’s famously disastrous November 2019 Newsnight interview.
The movie follows BBC anchor Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson) and her team as she interviews the Duke of York, 64, (Rufus Sewell) about his alleged relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (who died of apparent suicide earlier that year).
She also presses Prince Andrew about Virginia Giuffre’s sex abuse allegations, which he denied (and in 2022, they settled her sex abuse lawsuit out of court).
In the real interview, Prince Andrew defended his choice to stay in a convicted sex offender’s home when he visited New York because he said that Epstein’s digs were, “A convenient place to stay.”
The car-crash of an interview led to Prince Andrew getting fired from official royal duties by his mom, Queen Elizabeth II.
