Princess Beatrice Upset as Netflix Film Revives Scandal of Prince Andrew’s Interview
Princess Beatrice finds herself entangled in emotional turmoil once again as Netflix’s new film ‘Scoop‘ brings her father Prince Andrew’s contentious media ordeal back into the spotlight. The film, inspired by the events leading to Prince Andrew’s controversial BBC Newsnight interview about his connections with Jeffrey Epstein, has reopened old wounds for the royal family, particularly for Beatrice, who played a part in the interview’s preparations.
Back in 2019, during the interview’s planning stages, Princess Beatrice was reported to have been involved, asking “sensible questions” about the interview’s direction and expressing concern for her father. However, the aftermath of the interview, which led to Prince Andrew stepping down from royal duties and losing his military titles, left Beatrice feeling a profound sense of guilt and distress, questioning her role in not preventing the interview from taking place.
In the wake of the interview, Beatrice sought comfort in planning a birthday dinner for her then-fiance Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, yet insiders revealed that the princess was deeply affected, finding herself in tears over the repercussions of the interview.
The recent release of ‘Scoop’ has not only reignited public scrutiny over Prince Andrew’s scandal but also cast a shadow over Princess Beatrice’s discreet involvement in the events. Royal commentator Jennie Bond conveyed to OK! Magazine that the film’s portrayal of the events would undoubtedly bring more embarrassment to Prince Andrew and his family, highlighting Beatrice’s particular distress over her role being thrust into the public eye once more.
Moreover, GB News podcast host Kinsey Schofield noted that while Beatrice’s depiction in the film might be fleeting, it serves as a stark reminder of her involvement in the interview negotiations, an aspect that both she and her sister Princess Eugenie would prefer to leave in the past, especially as they navigate their relationship with the broader royal family.
As ‘Scoop’ unfolds the intricate details of a scandal that shook the monarchy, the spotlight once again turns to the personal struggles and responsibilities of those within the royal circle, leaving Princess Beatrice to confront the echoes of a chapter she hoped was closed.
