Emily Maitlis reveals request from Prince Andrew after notorious Newsnight interview had finished - and how it haunted her career ahead of A Very Royal Scandal's launch
The journalist serves as an executive producer on the upcoming Prime Video series A Very Royal Scandal - a retelling of the 2019 interview.
'And it was a very complicated moment for us because, on the one hand, I knew that if he included some of the stuff that he wanted to talk about, for example the sweating and the Pizza Express alibi, it was not going to help his case, in fact, it was actually going to make it look worse.' A press released added: 'A Very Royal Scandal follows the action of Emily and Prince Andrew in the lead-up to the interview, the ground-breaking event itself and the many questions left in its wake that would change their lives forever.' The first episode sees Prince Andrew attempt to declare his innocence as he finds himself at the centre of an international scandal while Newsnight presenter, Emily, does everything within her power to secure an interview with him.
