Series: A Very Royal Scandal

Where to Find It: All three episodes are now streaming on Prime Video

What’s It About: The historical account of Prince Andrew is extensive and not particularly favorable. This upcoming series on Prime Video delves into the interview conducted by the BBC featuring Prince Andrew (portrayed by Michael Sheen), who was embroiled in a scandal due to his connections with Jeffrey Epstein.

As a devoted admirer looking back, I must admit that I’ve been closely connected with Epstein, an individual who faced charges for sex trafficking as far back as 2008. Over the years, his legal troubles and accusations have cast a shadow on our association, causing me to find myself entangled in debates about our bond and the rumors surrounding my actions. In 2019, fresh allegations and images resurfaced, once again bringing me under scrutiny.

Meanwhile, BBC reporter Emily Maitlis (portrayed by Ruth Wilson) was delving into an investigation. Amidst some criticism regarding her interview demeanor, Maitlis aimed to secure a high-profile, sensational story. Off camera, her colleagues were strategizing to persuade Prince Andrew that giving an on-the-record statement would be in his best interest.

Ultimately, he agreed to proceed with it, and the interview transpired at Buckingham Palace. His responses left the world astounded, setting a new course for both his personal life and professional journey.

Give it a go if you’re captivated by dramatic narratives, hooked on mini-series, or eager to delve deeper into the controversies surrounding the British Monarchy.

One Man’s Opinion of A Very Royal Scandal

Five years have passed since this interview, and things have significantly changed for Prince Andrew. There was even speculation about whether he would be able to attend the funeral of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. However, the public’s interest in this tale, along with the events that unfolded behind closed doors, continues to be intense. In fact, two contrasting projects related to it were released in 2024.

Initially, there was a Netflix movie featuring Gillian Anderson as Maitlis and Rufus Sewell portraying the prince. This intriguing adaptation of the tale garnered moderately positive feedback. Subsequently, this three-hour mini-series further explores that narrative, with Maitlis serving as the producer herself. I found the selection of Sheen and Wilson for their respective roles to be commendable, as they both immersed themselves perfectly in their characters.

This adaptation offers an enlarged narrative, offering a glimpse into the background initially, delving deep into the interview sequence subsequently, and dedicating an entire episode to the subsequent events. The acting is commendable, and the plot keeps you hooked. It’s also a convenient watch for those eager to gather more information in a short span of time.
