**LONDON -** Just months after Netflix’s “Scoop” tackled Prince Andrew’s infamous BBC Newsnight interview, Amazon Prime is set to release its own dramatized take on the scandal with “A Very Royal Scandal.” Executive produced by Emily Maitlis, the interviewer who famously grilled Andrew, the series promises a scathing portrayal of the disgraced royal.

According to early reviews, Michael Sheen delivers a compelling performance as a pompous and abrasive Andrew, showcasing his infamous “f*** off” moment to a footman and derogatory remarks toward family members. The drama promises to delve into the mystery surrounding Andrew’s actions and explore his turbulent relationship with his brother, King Charles.

While the series clarifies that certain events have been fictionalized for dramatic purposes, many believe it paints a realistic picture of the “Andrew problem” that continues to plague the royal family. Despite stepping down as a working royal following the Newsnight debacle, Andrew remains a source of controversy, especially after the King’s recent attempts to relocate him from his lavish Royal Lodge to the more modest Frogmore Cottage.

Critics argue that the continuous media attention surrounding Andrew, including “A Very Royal Scandal” and previous portrayals like Channel 4’s “Prince Andrew: The Musical,” may be insensitive given the seriousness of the allegations against him. However, the drama is undoubtedly a hot topic, and its September 19th release on Amazon Prime is sure to spark further discussion about the ongoing royal drama.
