Is Prince Andrew really as vulgar and entitled as he's portrayed by Michael Sheen in Amazon's new drama? Spoiler alert! You bet, one battle-worn courtier tells the Mail
From his inaugural 'f*** off' to a hapless flunkey, the latest TV retelling of Prince Andrew's catastrophic Newsnight interview is a brutal portrait of the disgraced Duke.
The dramatisation, meanwhile, sees Sheen’s boorish Prince arrogantly choosing not to watch the interview as it was broadcast but instead playing a game of ‘guess who’ at a dinner party with a Post-It note reading ‘Donald Trump’ stuck to his forehead, pretending to bend over and pass wind. It was Mrs Thirsk who encouraged Andrew to set up his successful Pitch At Palace scheme, matching entrepreneurs with angel investors, in a bid to restore his reputation after he was forced to quit his role as a roving UK trade ambassador after a string of controversies. One thing everyone agrees on is that the Palace stalwart, who left last year after two decades working for the late Queen, would never have uttered some of the more outre lines in the show: including a reference to royal ‘kiddie fiddling’, a ‘clusterf*** worthy of the Kardashians’ and wailing they will now be ‘shovelling more s*** than Dyno-Rod’.
