With Amazon apparently suffering a crisis of confidence over the Emily Maitlis-inspired three-parter over the Duke of York’s car crash interview, is Andrew hiding behind the couch in anticipation of his name being dragged through the mud again? Not a bit of that.
One source claims he doesn’t really see what all the fuss is about, being the only person who still thinks the interview went well and insisting that he had a message to deliver and delivered it just as he had rehearsed.
The source believes his nonchalance only makes sense because he believes he has done nothing wrong.
Meanwhile, the producers of A Very Royal Scandal fear that the Netflix film, which has widely won over Amazon, has satiated interest in the banished duke.

Sir Ian McKellen remembers filming his film version of Hamlet in Windsor during the pandemic, explaining: “Prince Philip had just died, so they were in mourning and they didn’t light up the castle.”
He adds cheekily: “I thought it was a shame because we could use a little history.”
However, McKellen cheerfully concludes: “We asked and they said yes, everything was fine.” That’s why they turned on the lights especially for us.’
