The Duke of York's notorious BBC Newsnight interview is being thrust back into the limelight due to a brand new Netflix dramatisation that premieres on Friday, 5 April.
Titled Scoop, the film reveals how the BBC team landed the disastrous interview, which ultimately led to Prince Andrew's exile from Royal life. Actor Rufus Sewell steps into the shoes of the prince, with parts of the interview by Emily Maitlis, portrayed by Gillian Anderson , recreated for the show.
The drama also portrays Andrew at his residence, Royal Lodge in Windsor, which he shares with his former wife Sarah Ferguson. However, he previously resided at Buckingham Palace in London, where several assertions have been made about the eccentric nature of his bedroom.
A number of ex-Palace employees have come forward to share what they witnessed in the room during their tenure there, including teddies on the bed. One former staffer is Charlotte Briggs, a former maid who served at the Palace in the mid-90s, who alleged that the prince had 72 soft toys on his bed. She revealed the meticulous care that went into arranging the Duke's teddy bears, explaining to The Sun: "As soon as I got the job, I was told about the teddies, and it was drilled into me how he wanted them.
I even had a day's training. Everything had to be just right. It was so peculiar." She also mentioned: "But he absolutely loved the teddies and was very clear about how he wanted them arranged." The largest teddies took pride of place at the back, with the others lined up in descending size order, leading to the tiniest at the front.
