It was November 16, 2019, when Prince Andrew, Duke of York, sat down for a 58-minute interview on the BBC program Newsnight. This was not a publicity buff up; Prince Andrew was there to be grilled. And indeed he was grilled: the journalist and filmmaker Emily Maitlis zeroed in on his association—and friendship—with Jeffrey Epstein, who’d been arrested in July of that year on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors. Just over a month later, the man was dead in his cell. In the interview, which was characterized by the press as “sickening” and “nuclear explosion level bad,” Prince Andrew muddled his words, offhandedly defended Epstein, and failed to sufficiently vindicate himself from accusations of sex offenses. The saga of this fateful interview, and of the women who worked with Buckingham Palace to get the interview in the first place, is documented in Netflix’s Scoop. The drama stars Gillian Anderson and Rufus Sewell. —Jack Sullivan
