Prince Andrew breaks cover as he goes for a horse ride in Windsor – a week after Netflix’s Scoop aired about his car crash Newsnight interviewed aired
Prince Andrew broke cover today as he headed for a horse riding trip in Windsor, a week after a Netflix drama Scoop – about his disastrous Newsnight interview – aired.
The Duke of York, 64, was accompanied by a groom as he headed for an outing near his home at the Royal Lodge.
As the spring air invades the south, the king’s brother ditches his usual warm coats and opts for a maroon sweater, navy blue breeches and riding boots.
For extra safety, he added a helmet.
Apparently ignoring the rumblings of royal drama, the eighth in line for the throne continued with business as usual today.
Prince Andrew made his breakthrough today during a horse ride in Windsor, a week after Netflix drama Scoop – about his disastrous Newsnight interview – aired
It comes a week after Netflix’s film Scoop was released.
The show revolves around his Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis – something that was widely regarded as disastrous.
The new Netflix film, based on the book by ex-BBC producer Sam McAlister, presents the fateful interview in which Mrs Maitlis criticized the Duke over the sexual allegations made against him by Mrs Giuffre.
Scoop shows the moment when the Queen’s son naively stated after the interview ‘that went well, didn’t it’ and how he joked about meeting pedophile Epstein in New York.
Andrew was pilloried for his TV appearance due to a lack of remorse over his friendship with the pedophile and his inability to express sympathy for the dozens of women Epstein trafficked and abused over three decades.
His alibis for failing to have sex with Virginia Roberts on three occasions, including appearing at Woking’s Pizza Express, have also been widely ridiculed by the public.

It will also bring Andrew’s powerful interview, in which he made no apologies for his friendship with Epstein, to a new audience of millions around the world.

Eugenie was accompanied by the American ambassador to Great Britain, Jane Hartley.
Ms Hartley hosted a reception and panel discussion on the fashion industry’s commitment to sustainability at her Regent’s Park residence Winfield House.
It was a difficult start to the year for the royal family.
