Rumor has it that the flick will be based on his nightmare BBC Newsnight interview, the one that was supposed to scrub up his tatty rep but instead made it worse.
And wouldn’t you know, none other than naughty Brit Hugh Grant is attached to the rumors. You will recall Grant had his own share of sex scandal headlines, after being caught out hiring a hooker in the US.
Royal Family News: Andrew is the Subject of a Movie?
According to Deadline, Grant is the name being floated to, “play Prince Andrew in an upcoming film about how the BBC obtained the bombshell interview with the Queen’s second son.” Screenwriter Peter Moffat is writing the screenplay for the film titled Scoop.
In the BBC interview Prince Andrew talked about his friendship with dead convicted sex offender and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Not the kind of stuff you want to watch at the dinner table. Plucky Andrew went ahead with the interview, despite reports that aides cautioned him not to, and the result was a blundering, blubbering mess in which he boasted about not being able to sweat.
Royal Family News: Prince Andrew Was Roasted
His train wreck performance was roasted and in hindsight he probably regrets his ill-fated media journey. Afterward his mother Queen Elizabeth put him in mothballs and since then he has become a virtual pariah (the city of York of which he is Duke, wants its name back and out of his mouth).
Even before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were making a mockery of the monarchy, it was Andrew who was leading the brigade. Due to accusations that he sexually assaulted a woman when she was a minor, Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal privileges and military titles.
Royal Family News: Andrew Settled Out of Court
In all his wisdom, Andrew settled a sexual abuse case against him in February, while maintaining his innocence. It was judged not a good look either way one looked at it. In that case Andrew reportedly paid millions of dollars in an out of court settlement to Virginia Giuffre who claimed Epstein sex trafficked her to his friend Andrew.
