THE story behind Prince Andrew’s BBC interview regarding his alleged friendship with Jeffrey Epstein is being turned into a Netflix movie.
Prince Andrew was interviewed for “Newsnight” in 2019 where he spoke on touchy topics including allegations of sexual assault from Virginia Giuffre, then Virginia Roberts.
“Scoop” is set to tell the behind-the-scenes story of the interview with journalist Emily Maitlis. It will be based on the chapters of a book by the former “Newsnight” producer Sam McAlister titled “Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC’s Most Shocking Interviews,” which explores the negotiations with Andrew and his team, the rehearsals and the aftermath.
The televised interview was famously slammed by viewers and described as a disaster for the disgraced royal.
