Prince Andrew's association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of sexual assault by Virginia Giuffre will be central to the storyline. The Duke of York's decision to step down from his role as a working royal and subsequent removal of his royal titles in 2022 will likely be explored in the series.
The miniseries will focus on Emily Maitlis, portrayed by Ruth Wilson, and her journey leading up to the acclaimed interview with Prince Andrew, played by Michael Sheen. While the premiere date for "A Very Royal Scandal" is yet to be announced, the series is expected to generate significant attention and scrutiny, adding another layer to the ongoing discussions about the Royal Family's public image.
