Michael Sheen Makes a Prickly Prince Andrew in Prime Video’s Slick, Absorbing ‘A Very Royal Scandal’: TV Review


Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson star in 'A Very Royal Scandal' a series depicting the shocking interview between Prince Andrew and BBC's Emily Maitlis.

When the prince’s team pitches a short segment on his charity work, she sees it as an opportunity for him to address the photo, his friendship with Epstein and the sexual assault allegations Giuffre has made against him. Sheen’s portrayal is that of a pampered and ill-tempered man who weaponizes his close relationship with his mother; outwardly hates his elder brother, Charles and seems content only when hunting, golfing or conversing with his daughters, Princesses Beatrice (Honor Swinton Byrne) and Eugenie (Sofia Oxenham). Surrounded by “yes people,” including Thirsk and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson (Claire Rushbrook), the series showcases how easily Prince Andrew dug his grave and sealed his coffin shut.
