Things aren’t getting any better for Prince Andrew after it was confirmed on the weekend that the story of his 2019 interview with BBCs Newsnight will be made into a movie. The show’s producer Sam McAlister has left the program and has already written about how she and the team convinced Andrew to do the interview in her book Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC’s Most Shocking Interviews. She also goes into how gun host Emily Maitlis handled the interview itself and the Prince’s reaction immediately afterwards – he and his team thought he’d nailed it… To recap: it was Andrew’s take on his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He also revealed that he wasn’t a sweaty guy and couldn’t have sex with a then 17yo girl Virginia Giuffre because he was at the Pizza Express in Woking on the day in question. If you can’t wait for the movie’s expected 2024 release, an explosive excerpt from McAlister’s book is here.
