British royalty and the media can be an explosive mix, as recent weeks of speculation over the health of Kate, Princess of Wales, have shown.
EntertainmentGillian Anderson poses for photographers upon arrival at the World premiere of the film 'Scoop' on Wednesday, March 27, 2024 in London. The absence of the Princess of Wales after abdominal surgery in January sparked uncontrolled online speculation that was first heightened by the release ofPrince Andrew gave in 2019 in response to allegations of sexual misconduct.
He claimed he couldn’t have been at a nightclub with his accuser on an alleged date because he was at a suburban Pizza Express restaurant with his daughter Princess Beatrice. He couldn’t have been sweating on the dancefloor because an “overdose of adrenaline’’ during his time as a helicopter pilot in the 1982 Falklands War had left him unable to perspire.
Andrew initially thought the interview had been a great success, even giving Maitlis a tour of Buckingham Palace after it was recorded.Sewell, who spent up to four hours a day being transformed into the prince with makeup and prosthetics, said he tried to find “all of the contradictions” in Andrew.
“And the interview is the process by which this fish finds himself out of his bowl, gulping for air — because Emily Maitlis does not even need to be rude or aggressive, she just needs to not agree to her side of that contract. And suddenly he is a creature that cannot get the oxygen." “Scoop” is the first of two TV dramas based on the interview. Amazon’s rival miniseries “A Very Royal Scandal” is due later this year, with Michael Sheen as Andrew and Ruth Wilson as Maitlis.
