Michael Sheen's portrayal of Prince Andrew in Amazon's *A Very Royal Scandal* is a raw depiction of the prince's fall from grace.
Sheen uses a 1981 photo of Andrew as a hero with a rose between his teeth as inspiration for a volatile and emotionally complex performance.
The film presents a gritty and dramatic account of Andrew's controversial 2019 Newsnight interview and his subsequent struggles, highlighting his arrogance and disconnection.
Unlike Netflix’s *Scoop*, this version delves deeper into his personal failings and family dynamics, offering a critical look at royal life.
