Amazon Prime released the trailer for upcoming drama A Very Royal Scandal on Wednesday, after announcing when it will launch on the streaming service.

The three-part series will premiere on September 19 exclusively on Prime Video in the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
It comes just five months after rival streaming platform Netflix’s version launched on April 5.
In the trailer, Maitlis (Wilson) can be seen following the story that would make her a household name worldwide and destroy the Prince’s reputation at a crucial time in British history.
Before the interview, the Duke of York jokes: “I’m going to put this behind me.”

And he adds in a voice-over: “I’ve been warned about you. You have a bit of a reputation.”
Maitlis then cheekily replies, while sitting opposite him: “Well, for your sake, I’ll try to behave.”
Then it goes to the interview and then to its conclusion, where Maitlis says: “I was just hoping to ask the right questions.”
The upcoming Amazon MGM Studios series will put a much larger focus on Emily Maitlis, who serves as executive producer, while Netflix’s Scoop focused on Prince Andrew.
An Amazon spokesperson confirmed the series will “follow Emily Maitlis’ professional and personal journey as a Newsnight journalist, leading to her critically acclaimed interview with Prince Andrew.”
A press release added: ‘A Very Royal Scandal follows Maitlis and Prince Andrew in the run-up to the interview, the ground-breaking event itself and the many questions left in its wake that would change their lives forever.’
