After a relatively quiet few months for Prince Andrew, there have been two recent developments that will no doubt make this famously un-sweaty man feel a nervous chill. Firstly, following the mixed response that Scoop, the first account of his notorious interview with Emily Maitlis, received, the first pictures have been released of the Amazon TV version of the story, A Very Royal Scandal. The notoriously vain Duke of York will no doubt be disappointed to see that the ever-chameleonic Michael Sheen seems to be playing him with considerable padding round the waist, in what promises to be a uniquely unflattering look at the Newsnight saga. And secondly, after much rumour and scuttlebutt, it looks as if Andrew could finally be made homeless.
The Duke, of course, is famously not a humble man
Obviously, for a member of the royal family – even a disgraced one – ‘homelessness’ is a relative term.
