Inside Prince Andrew’s isolating past few years as royal outcast after infamous Newsnight interview that Netflix turned into hit drama Scoop

For years, Prince Andrew has been fighting to rebuild his image, first because of his relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and then after his car-crash Newsnight interview.

Netflix’s film Scoop, about his Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis and based on the book by ex-BBC producer Sam McAlister, came out yesterday.

Andrew was pilloried for his TV performance because of a lack of contrition for his friendship with the paedophile and his failure to express sympathy for the dozens of women Epstein trafficked and abused over three decades.

His alibis for not having sex with Virginia Roberts three times, including being in Woking’s Pizza Express, have also been widely ridiculed by the public.

The new Netflix film has re-hashed what is widely considered the most disastrous interview in royal history, in which Emily Maitlis grilled the Duke on the sex allegations made against him by Mrs Giuffre.

The film is set to bring yet another headache to King Charles as continues his battle with cancer.

It will also bring Andrew’s bombshell interview, where he failed to apologise for his friendship with Epstein, to a new audience of millions of people around the world.

Scoop shows the moment the Queen’s son naïvely declared ‘that went well didn’t it’ after the interview and how he joked about meeting paedophile Epstein in New York.

Today, Andrew was seen frowning as he went riding near Windsor Castle, in Berkshire.
Yet the question many are asking after watching the Netlix show is what happened next for the beleaguered prince.

From losing his title to settling his lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew’s life was anything but peaceful after his car-crash Newsnight interview.

Andrew loses sponsors and patronages, November 2019

One of the first to jump was KPMG, which pulled the plug on its sponsorship of Prince Andrew’s Dragons Den-style entrepreneur scheme Pitch@Palace on November 18. KPMG was paying £100,000 a year to the scheme.

Charities and schools linked to Prince Andrew were also in disarray as they distanced themselves from the under-fire royal.

Children North East and The Children’s Foundation, both charities Andrew lists on his official website, refused to tell MailOnline if he would keep his official role supporting them in light of the Epstein scandal.

The Council of British International Schools [COBIS] praised the duke’s work with them since 2011 but also refused to say if their link with the prince remained.

London Metropolitan University revealed on November 19 that it was reviewing the Duke of York’s role as its patron in the wake of his BBC interview three days ago.

Huddersfield University launched a campaign for Andrew to resign as chancellor, saying he is ‘not the sort of role model students should have’
