I'm worried about Princess Beatrice
Prince Andrew Netflix drama places the 'much-loved' royal in a difficult position
The year began with news of the Princess of Wales’ abdominal surgery and confirmation of her three-month absence from royal duties, which, as well all know, has now been extended indefinitely as Kate undergoes preventative treatment for cancer. King Charles’ enlarged prostate and his subsequent cancer diagnosis also made headlines at the start of 2024.
These two health crises were quickly followed by Sarah, Duchess of York being diagnosed with malignant melanoma, and, sadly, weeks later - the tragic death of Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband of five years, Thomas Kingston.
Now, you would think that was enough for one family to take? Honestly, the past three months have been a lot for them.
I was hoping that the coming weeks would be calmer for the Firm, but the royal family are getting ready to move from one sensitive news cycle to another with the release of Scoop.
In just two weeks, Netflix will air the political drama, which recounts Prince Andrew's jaw-dropping 2019 interview with BBC Newsnight correspondent Emily Maitlis. Their discussion touched on the Prince’s controversial friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and his pending sexual assault case.
