Earlier this year, Netflix treated us to "Scoop", a shape-shifting dramatisation of Prince Andrew's stunning foot-in-mouth interview on BBC's "Newsnight" in 2019, in which he catastrophically failed to deflect accusations that he had sex with Virginia Giuffre at Jeffrey Epstein’s house when she was 17.

Six months on, Amazon Prime is rolling out its own take with "A Very Royal Scandal", executive produced by Emily Maitlis, the interviewer in the jaw-dropping TV special, which treated us to details of Andrew's inability to sweat and a trip to Woking's Pizza Express.
