[suspenseful music]

[car tyres crunching]

[clocks ticking]

[Beethoven: "Für Elise"]

[crow caws]

[sighs]
[car doors open]

[car doors close]

Your Royal Highness.

So sorry,
I didn't see you there.

- Service isn’t till later.
- Oh, no, no, I wasn't, um...

[clears throat loudly]
...uh, please, carry on.

[clears throat]

Can I ask you a question?

Of course, Your Royal Highness.

You didn't happen to catch a...

...an interview
I did last night on, um...

on television, did you?

- Interview?
-Yes. On, uh, on Newsnight.

No, Your Royal Highness.

No, no, no. Right. Never mind.

Carry on.

Oh. [embarrassed laugh]

Yeah.

[soft music]

[door closes]

[clocks ticking]

Forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

[newsreader] ...now spectacularly
backfired on Prince Andrew.

Many royal watchers
are stating their disbelief

that he decided to do this
interview in the first place.

If the Prince and his advisors...
- Jesus.

What?

It’s everywhere.

I mean seriously, it’s headlines
all over the world.

Look.

Extraordinaire.

Reale britannico da Emily Maitlis.

Schweigender Prinz!

Wait, that's Japanese.

You’re big in Japan. Fuck me,
that's famous.

- Can I help with this?
- No, you’re shit at it.

Right.

- Big in Japan!
- Whoo!

Oop.

[light music]

Pug?

How long have you been here?

A while.

How... how... how was the shoot?

[clock ticking]

Who have you spoken to?

Her Majesty rang last night.

- She rang you at the shoot?
- Yep.

Well, what did she say?

I’m to keep a low profile
for the time being.

Just, you know...

...wait and see.

You watched, I assume?

Yeah.

And?

I thought you were wonderful.

Clear, honest, honourable,
like you always are.

How are the girls?

Well, they'll be here later.

That bad was it?

Oh, no. You know what
the press are like.

Damned if you do,
damned if you don't.

It'll blow over.
It... it always does.

But... you may need lawyers.

What?

Bea says she saw a report
on the internet.

Apparently Virginia Giuffre is
upset that you didn't apologise.

I did apologise.

No, darling, you didn't.

- Didn't I?
- No.

Could have sworn that I did.

I... I... I... I'm just telling you
what... what the girls told me.

They... say... she's coming
after you... or something.

[inhales nervously]

Yeah, the shoot was good.

Bagged a hundred birds.

Best shot of the day.

[dramatic music]

[lift beeps]

[office chatter]

[phone ringing]

Yeah, I reckon that'd be
a good time.

[cheering & celebrations]

Thank you. Thank you.

Well done.

Speech.

Right, get back to work.
Back to work.

[dramatic music]

[clears throat]

Amanda, shall we?

[knocking on door]

I'm guessing you've seen
the papers?

No regrets, no remorse.

That pretty much sums them up.

The queen is in shock.

I don't think I've ever seen her
so upset.

However blind love may be,
to wake up

and read headlines like this
about your own child, that's...

...something I wouldn't wish on
any mother.

- No.
- The Duke of York is who he is.

Your job was to protect him
from himself.

That you have spectacularly
failed to do.

And, in the process, you have
managed single-handedly

to threaten the survival
of the monarchy.

I wa... I was...

It was my job to support.
- Your job, Amanda,

was to anticipate this shit show
and stop it.

The royal family is unstable
enough without one of them

being accused of kiddy fiddling.

No one is saying that
Prince Andrew...

They may not say it, Amanda,

but the whole world
is thinking it.

I told you explicitly to work
with myself

and the other private secretaries,

but you ignored me.

And now, lo and behold,
we find ourselves here

in a clusterfuck worthy of
the Kardashians.

I'm afraid, you’re going to need
to step back.

We'll have you sign an NDA

and there'll be the usual
severance package.

But as of Monday, you no longer
work for the Duke of York.

Uh, does... does Prince Andrew
know about this?

The decision comes
from higher up.

Donal, would you show Amanda
out, please?

[door opens]

[phone pings]
Oh, shit.

What?

Uh, they've just sacked
Amanda Thirsk.

- You're kidding?
- Yeah, she's just texted.

ABC are early. We're on.

- Oh, shit, okay.
- Alright, okay. Yeah.

- [man] ...on the live stream...
- Okay.

Wait.

- Okay, can we hang on?
- [man] ... nine, eight...

- Good?
- No.

- [man] ...seven, six...
- ABC in five, four, three...

[man] ...two, one...

[reporter] And now joining us
is Emily Maitlis

from BBC Newsnight.

So, Emily, did you ever believe

that this story would blow up
the way it has?

To be honest, no.

We knew it was important,

but we never anticipated
this level of interest.

And that outfit, Emily, the...
the military style jacket,

we are getting so much interest
from our viewers about that.

Well, I just wanted to wear
something I was

comfortable in.

I mean, I've worn that outfit a
few times for a few interviews,

so, I guess it's kind of
my lucky jacket.

Well, it was certainly
lucky for you.

Now, tell us, Emily,

you've interviewed a lot of
famous people in your time.

How did you find Prince Andrew?

His Royal Highness was
incredibly candid with me.

I mean, you’ll know this,
but most people I interview

are frankly PR’d to death.

So, I really appreciated that
unvarnished authenticity.

That's fascinating.

Tell us, Emily,
how does it feel

to take down a member
of the monarchy?

[dramatic music]

[journalists shouting questions]

[cutlery clinking]

Daddy... bagged a hundred birds
at yesterday's shoot.

- Best shot of the weekend.
- Yeah, not much competition.

All the same, proud of you.

Ma’am.

[footsteps receding]
[door opens]

[trolley clattering]

Bea, what is it?

Sorry. [sniffs]

What's the matter, my love?

Bea?

I think I should call off
the wedding.

No, no. No, absolutely not.

I'll not have this bloody
stupid interview

getting in the way of your plan.
- Pups, wait!

Look, I know how much you wanted
last night to work,

how much we all wanted it
to work,

but the fact is they've twisted
your words.

And now it's so much harder...

...for you, for all of us.

And now you're gonna be attacked
even more.

And I hate that, and I hate that
I was there and I...

Darling, this has nothing to do
with you.

But it does. [sniffs]

Of course it does.
I'm your daughter.

And the truth is, I... I thought
it would be okay, and it wasn't.

It isn't. It's not okay.

And to think that my wedding
would get in the way

of you defending yourself, and...

...I mean, fact is I... I... I just
can't think about anything

other than what you said

and how it's blown up
in our faces.

Anyway.

That's what I think.

Well, I think... this is
a wonderful family

and I think we just need to
stick together

and... be kind,

and remember that when push
comes to shove,

nobody can tell us what we can
and can't do

because at the end of the day,

we all just need to keep
our chins up.

Please shut up. Just...

...shut up.

Most people I interview
are frankly PR’d to death,

so, I really appreciated that
unvarnished authenticity.

- Oh.
- [presenter] That's fascinating.

Tell us, Emily,

how does it feel to take down
a member of the monarchy?

[dramatic music]

[Emily] Well, I'm a journalist.

I just ask the questions.

Oh.

[clock ticking]

Darling.

We... we need to talk, uh,
about lawyers.

[golf club whacks ball]

Pug.

They've sacked my private secretary
without consulting me.

She sent a text.

She's been told to keep away.

Amanda was very good to me.

They've summoned me to Balmoral.

When you... told Bea...
about the firm,

you said you loved her...

...Eugenie, and your mother.

[golf club whacks ball]

Why didn't you include me?

You've told me in private
many times.

Or have you forgotten that too?

I was talking about family.

We’re divorced.
[golf club whacks ball]

I tried, you know, I... I just...

...I was trying
not to sound guilty.

[dramatic music]

- Are you?
-No! No, I... I told you. No.

[foreboding music]

[knocking on door]
[door opens]

His Royal Highness,
Prince Andrew.

[foreboding music intensifies]

[rain pattering]

The Duke of York’s now agreed to
step down from all royal duties,

including military.

Losing Colonel of
the Grenadier Guards

went down particularly badly.

Frankly, you couldn't make
this shit up.

We need the media to do
their bit.

I don't want to see any
more headlines

like, 'His Royal Dryness',
or 'Duke of Porkies'.

- I'll sort it.
- Good.

'Cause if we don't tread
very carefully,

you and I will be shovelling
more shit than Dyno-Rod.

I need Prince Andrew
off the map.

I also need the public to know
that we take a clear position

ahead of any potential
legal action by Giuffre.

Brief the usual press,

and emphasise the Prince's isolation.

The message is, the Duke of York
has completely cut himself off

from his old life in order to
focus on clearing his name.

And he accepts this
new reality with dignity.

Your Royal Highness?

You call me Andrew now.

[scrubbing continues]

We have people to do
the washing.

[pan clangs]
Yes, I can do it too.

[water dripping on floor]

[dramatic music]

[cheering & applause]

Oh, thank you. Wow.

Thank you, thank you so much
for this.

Um, gosh, I feel incredibly privileged

and overwhelmed, actually.

Um, sorry, yes, I wanna thank my
incredible team at Newsnight,

Esme Wren, Stewart MacLean,
Sam McAlister, and Jake Morris.

And to my husband,
where are you? Mark?

Mark, thanks, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thanks for this.
[cheering, applause erupts]

- [woman] Em, congratulations.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

[man] Yeah, well done.
Don't mention the victims.

[dark music]

[applause, cheering distorts]

Em. You okay?

[newsreader] Jeffrey Epstein
and Ghislaine Maxwell

took the 17-year-old Virginia
to London to party

with Prince Andrew.

Then we went to club Tramp,
and he danced with me,

and... and he sweats a lot,
and he smells funny.

Um, and then...
and then we get in the car,

and, um, Ghislaine tells me
in the car

that I have to do...

what I do for Jeffrey
for Prince Andrew.

And that's when I learned
what was going to happen.

[Stewart] That’s great,
thank you.

[loud chatter]

Now...

- Thanks for seeing me.
- No, of course.

It's been a weird few weeks.

Yeah.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

So... how's Emily?

She's fine.

- Riding high.
- Yeah.

Um, it's been a bit crazy,
but, yeah, back to work.

I was sorry to hear about your...

I'll be fine.

There are other jobs. It's...

...it's Prince Andrew and his
family that I'm worried about.

Yeah, yeah. I guess there...

...there are no great outcomes
for anyone, really.

You've all done pretty well
out of it.

I studied law, Stew.

I know how facts can
be manipulated.

And Emily did a brilliant job of
making the Prince look guilty.

Truth is, you have no proof that
he slept with anyone underage

or you would've used it
in the interview.

I mean, what if you’re
all wrong?

What if the Prince's worst crime

is that he's simply clumsy
and misspoke?

I guess that's between him
and his conscience.

Oh, you mean he should
have apologised.

- It would have helped.
- Of course, it would.

And he could have apologised.

He should never have depended
on Epstein's money,

however much he needed it.

The man was a monster.

But does any of that

make him guilty of having sex
with a minor?

'Cause that's what everyone
assumes he did.

It's not even up for debate,
right?

If he'd apologised, we wouldn't
be having this conversation.

In what world does a non-apology
equal guilt?

I mean, seriously, how can
the man get a fair trial now?

Look at the press.

He's already guilty
by association.

And now I hear Panorama
are taking on the story.

Say what you like about how
Emily conducted the interview.

She put no words in his mouth.

Oh, yeah, right.

Power without responsibility.

[Stephen] Thank you all
for coming.

If I could get everyone
to introduce themselves.

I'm Stephen Ferguson, barrister.

Uh, Sarah Ferguson, uh,
no relation.

[polite laughter]
Duke's ex-wife and biggest fan.

Well, I'm, uh, Gary Bloxsome,
solicitor and, uh, yeah.

Laura Mitcham,
public relations officer.

And our associates,
Noah, Arthur, and Cleo.

So, following Prince Andrew's
Newsnight interview

with Emily Maitlis in November
last year,

he received unwarranted
negative press.

And we can assume
Miss Giuffre’s lawyers

are preparing to issue
civil proceedings.

Our task is twofold.

One, to fight any attempt
to extradite

His Royal Highness to America...

Wait... sorry, extradite?

What are you talking about?

There's a slim chance
Miss Giuffre may try

and force you
to face trial in America.

[laughs] Are you joking me? I'm...

...I'm the second son of
the Sovereign,

she can't do that.

Strictly speaking, from a legal
standpoint, it is possible.

But obviously, that's what
we're here to prevent.

And also, clearly, challenge any
civil proceedings in the UK.

As part of that fight back,
we're going to remind the public

of His Royal Highness's sense
of public duty

and his loyalty to both Crown
and country.

- Laura, do you want to...?
- Yes, sure.

So, obviously the press is all
a bit negative right now,

but we’re gonna be countering
that with a campaign

of public relations and, yeah,
you know,

just a lot of positive stories.

You and your work.

Obviously not your old work,
just anything you're doing now.

I'm not doing anything now.

Okay, thanks, Laura.
It's early days.

We're still finding our feet,

but the main thing is
we're on your team.

And we're going to get you
through this.

Can I just say, Sir, what a huge
fan I am of Pitch@Palace.

I know a couple of
young entrepreneurs

whose lives have been
transformed by what you did.

And all your amazing work
with your charities

and... and the military.
Just bloody brilliant.

There is no doubt in my mind,
you are gonna get through this,

and we are gonna get you
back where you belong.

Thank you... Gary.

You bet.

[Virginia] I just didn't expect
it from royalty.

I didn't expect it from someone

that people look up to
and admire,

you know, in the royal family.

[newsreader] When they got back
to the house,

she says she asked Epstein

to take a picture to show
her family.

She then carried out
the instructions

to entertain the prince.

[Virginia] There was a bath,
and it started there

and then it led into
the bedroom, and...

...it didn't last very long,
the whole entire procedure.

It was disgusting.

Um...
- Jesus.

...he wasn't mean or anything, but...

...he got up and he said thanks
and walked out. And...

[Eugenie] Are you guys watching
Panorama?

Yep.

This is never gonna end.

What are you gonna do about
the wedding?

[Virginia] Ghislaine tells me
I did a really good job,

and she pats me on the back...
- Bea?

Uh, I have to go.
I'll call you in a bit.

[dramatic music]

[sighs]

[Virginia continues speaking]

We can't wait for this to stop.

This is not our problem.

And I'll support Daddy
in every way that I can,

but this is not our problem.

[Virginia] ... these chains of
deceit.

But these powerful people
were my chains.

I didn't know what had happened
and I just, I didn't...

I couldn't comprehend how,
on the highest levels

of the government and powerful
people were allowing this.

Oh God, don't tell me
you're looking at porn.

No. No.

Give me that.

- Why are you reading this?
- I just Googled your name.

You shouldn't be reading this.
I'm serious, Milo.

You're my mum, why shouldn’t I?

Anyway, why are they saying
that stuff about you?

That's just words. It's fine.

Yeah, but why are they
saying it?

[sighs] Look...

I interview powerful people.

And sometimes when I ask them
difficult questions,

their... followers or whatever,
they get pissed off.

And are they right?

No.

I did an interview
with Prince Andrew

that even Buckingham Palace
admits was totally correct.

You haven't seen what else
they say.

Yeah, well, I don't want to.

Some of them... are saying like

they're gonna come after you
and shit.

[laughs]
Nobody's coming after me.

Your stalker did.

[cameras clicking]
Oh, sorry.

[man] No worries.

[woman] Okay.

[clanging]

Why are we doing this?

We're just gonna bag up goodies
for the hospice.

While someone just happens
to be filming us?

You don't think it looks
a bit obvious?

No, because they're just gonna film us
filling the bags up with goodies.

It's to show we care.

It looks like a fucking
farmers' market.

You've never been to
a farmer’s market.

We're not actually delivering
them, are we?

- No.
- Because there's no way

I'm hugging some fucking OAP

in the middle of a pandemic.

Laura, can we get this
over with?

[woman] Not ready, not yet.

Two seconds, please, Sir.

You know, I'm actually
paying these clowns.

[whispers] Be careful.
They might be recording.

Yes, I don't actually
give a shit.

Okay, so if you could just act
like we’re not here.

So, um, in your own time.

- Turnover.
- Rolling.

And, action.

[dramatic violin music]

Thank you.

Try to look a bit more cheerful. Smile.

[bag rustles, item clatters]

[whispers] Please don’t throw
them in.

Andrew...

Don’t, don’t.

[bag rustles loudly]

What the bloody hell
is going on?

Laura thought the food parcels
would be a good way...

I don’t give a shit about
the food parcels.

[shouting] I mean my legal case.

I'm fighting for my life here, Stephen.

And all I can see is fucking
PR stunts

and meetings about meetings
about meetings.

Why isn't this over?

[panting heavily]

Honestly, Sir, I was moved
by the food parcels

knowing that someone
in a hospice somewhere

was gonna get to open
those bags.

Take off your bloody masks.

You sound like the Muppets.

Your Royal Highness, the law
will do what the law does.

But let me just say you are
doing everything right.

I'm not doing anything, Gary.

With respect Sir, legal cases
like this...

[shouting] Don't with respect me!

You've had months
to sort this shit out.

How is it even possible that
some girl I can't even remember

has this much fucking power?

Sir, when you say 'girl'...

...in a way, yes.

But then again, uh,
not in any sense.

I mean...

...not really a girl.

That word's, um...

...if I can be
honest with you, Sir,

that's not a word...

...we... we wouldn't be encouraging
you to use that... word.

Is that how solicitors
make money?

Just taking forever to make
a fucking point?

Sir, Giuffre’s team
are preparing

to issue civil proceedings

against you for battery.

Battery?

Rape.

Well, that is an outrageous accusation

which I absolutely deny.
- And we appreciate that, Sir.

But defending you against
such accusations

is what we've been busy doing.

I’m going for a walk.

[crows cawing]

[suspenseful music]

[Emily] This week England faces
yet another lockdown

as the prime minister struggles,
in his own words,

to put Covid back in its box.

Meanwhile, in Denmark,
a strain of the virus

has been discovered
on a mink farm.

Experts believe it may have
already spread to humans.

Okay.

[Esme] Another virologist,
Professor Lewis,

is gonna explain the structure
of the virus.

And...
- I'll die of boredom.

...we might have a junior
minister from Health,

but everyone's scared
of you now, so...

[Emily scoffs]

[sombre music]
[Emily] Hmm.

[sighs] You know, a couple
of years ago

my stalker broke his injunction.

And it's sort of...

...it's my responsibility to then
have to sort that out.

[keypad beeps]

You see, the onus is
on the victim.

The onus is on the person who
has been stalked

to keep having to explain each
time what's happened, and...

[sighs] it's like bashing
your head against a wall.

[Emma] You don't believe
it will ever stop?

[Emily] No.

[Emma] Do you genuinely think
you'll have to live with this

for the rest of your life?

[Emily] I don't...
think about it.

You know, my way is
complete denial.

[Mark] Why are you listening
to that?

[laptop slams]

Don’t know.

Couldn't sleep.

[sighs] Something about
interviews.

Being interviewed, how much
I hated it.

And talking about it, about him,
even his name.

I know.

Because he blighted our lives, Mark.

You know, he sucked out the joy

and because it was just so...
bloody boring.

[Mark sighs]

He's in prison.

He'll likely be in prison
for many years to come.

Not forever.

Well... we'll meet that when
we come to it.

Em?

You know, I was listening...
because I wanted to remember

how it felt to be interviewed
about something

that wasn't my fault.

That what happened to Epstein's
victims wasn't their fault.

Yet they still had to
be witnessed.

They still had to, you know,
parade their pain

in the hope of even
the slightest justice.

And, yeah, I'm not saying what
happened to me was even,

you know, remotely similar,
of course, it wasn't.

But just the, you know,
the parading,

the endless bloody
talking about it

to get anyone to take it
seriously.

Do you remember that?
- Yeah.

And that's true of every woman

who ever complained about
any kind of harassment.

Always uphill, always against
the tide.

Always a... battle against
the unspoken.

You know, the look in their eye
that says, you know, really?

Did he really?

You know...

...you know, when I sat
down with Prince Andrew,

I was only ever hoping to ask
the right questions.

I didn't know how he'd be,
or what he'd say, but...

...it was the arrogance,
the entitlement.

He just couldn't help himself.

You know, the way that...

...certain men, whatever their
sickness...

...assume certain rights without
giving it a second thought.

You know, their want,
their need... their impulse.

And whether Prince Andrew
was guilty or not,

it's just the way he was
all he ever thought about

when he walked into a room.

[scoffs] That's it. That's,
you know,

that's what's been bugging me.

[kiss]

[sighs]

Is it dodgy to say
I'm knackered?

[laughter]

Maybe we can do a photo with the mother
and father of the bride?

- Yeah, yeah, let’s do that now.
- Mummy.

Right, come on, come on.
Get over the other side.

Yes, Mummy, you just go there.

[photographer] Okay,
that looks perfect.

Go closer, closer still.
[camera clicks]

That’s great. Okay.
Just check those.

Daddy, would you mind stepping
aside just for this next?

We're gonna take an official
picture with Granny and Grandpa.

Is that alright?

- No, no, no. Ab... absolutely.
- Great.

Um... right.

[melancholic music]

- Mwah.
- [photographer] Uh, right.

If I could have Her Majesty
and Prince Philip

to the bride’s right.

[high tempo music]
[clears throat]

Given the gravity
of the implications

surrounding this scandal,

Her Majesty has now agreed
to privately fund

the Duke of York's legal fees,

which means I will be needing
regular updates.

If you don't mind.

[clears throat] Uh...

yesterday Giuffre’s team
filed suit against Prince Andrew

for sexual abuse under
the Child Victims Act.

The plaintiff also claims
she feared death

if she did not obey instructions.

Oh, Christ on a bike.

They still have two physically
deliver court documents

to the Prince or one of his
legal team.

Our aim is to slow
that process down,

and in the meantime, continue
building our case

against Giuffre.

[sighs]

Let me be clear...

we are now getting
uncomfortably close

to the Jubilee.

I need a cast iron guarantee

that this case will be done
and dusted.

No ifs or buts.

Can you absolutely guarantee
to have this wrapped up

by January next year
at the very latest?

A hundred percent.

We can win this.

And if you don't?

[clock ticking]
[knock on door]

[door opens]

Sorry to bother you, Sir,
there's a car downstairs.

We need to get you out of here
as quickly as possible.

What's happening?

Uh, Miss Giuffre’s legal team
are about to serve you papers.

[high tempo music]
Serve me with papers, when?

The court papers,
Sir, for the trial.

Your lawyers think it’s of
the utmost importance

you're not here to accept them.

If you’d follow me, Sir,
there's a car downstairs.

[groans]

- Where’s the Duchess?
- She's on a book tour, Sir.

Oh yes, of course.

The car’s just past
the main gate.

Please hurry along, Sir.

Your bags are in the boot,

including your favourite
golf clubs.

I’ll look after everything here, Sir.

Yeah.

The weirdest thing
just happened to me.

Boris Johnson said he'll come
on Newsnight?

No.

I ran into Princess Beatrice
and Eugenie in the park.

Shit.

Well, did they say anything?

No, they just... stared at me.

What, like...?

- Like I'd really hurt them.
- Oh.

I guess we were never gonna be
their favourite people.

No, no, I know.
I just, I don't know. I just...

[sighs]

...didn't expect to... feel...
like I did.

Okay, so, I'm sorry for them,
I am.

But at the end of the day, they
are princesses living in London.

And they're not abuse victims
in New York.

Don’t know, I just...

you know, for what we did...

to really matter,
it has to go to trial.

Mm.

To court, to a, you know,
a proper trial.

Not a... just a one hour
interviewers’ entertainment.

What do you call it? Schadenfreude.

- Mm, I was joking, Emily.
- No, but you weren't.

That's exactly what we are.

You know as well as I do that
for most people,

me and Prince Andrew
are the story,

not Epstein's victims.

You know, Emily Maitlis dismantles

a member of the royal family,
blah, blah, blah.

And what do you want?
12 Angry Men?

For someone as powerful as him,

your interview is as tough
as it gets.

But he still gets to go to
Sandringham at Christmas

like nothing happened.

And it's fucked.

And whenever we try
to get anyone

even remotely powerful
on Newsnight...

Yeah, they all say no, ‘cause
they're terrified

I'll do another Andrew on them.

Yeah, it's fucked.

Hm.

Well, on that note, I have to go
meet another junior minister

from the Department of Work
and Pensions.

Maybe he'll do an interview
with you. No.

[Emily laughs]

Sorry, Sir, uh,
where are you going?

For a walk.

In our... private ground.

Right, Sir, uh...

it's just... we've been asked
to make sure, you know,

while the Yanks are trying to
serve you with legal papers,

you're not really here, Sir.
- [scoffs]

- They've asked that you don't...
- Don’t what?

Do... anything.

I fought in the Falklands.

I risked my life for queen
and country.

If I want to go for a walk,
I'll go for a fucking walk!

[high tempo music]

[door bursts open]

[butler] Princess Beatrice.

Sorry I'm late.

Sir Edward.

- Beatrice.
- I'm representing my father.

You go to court in the States,

you're head to head with
Giuffre’s team.

These guys pull no punches.

They'll argue they served
papers on Prince Andrew

by handing them to a police
officer outside Royal Lodge.

They'll call witnesses
to his night at Tramp.

They'll put his Royal Highness
on the stand.

And sure, we can go after
Giuffre,

say her lawsuit is baseless,

but you open this up to
a Stateside court case,

you expose the Crown.
No question.

So, what's the timeline on this?

Do we have any other
legal options?

[phone buzzing]
My father's calling.

Daddy.

I want to go to trial.
I'm gonna clear my name.

Tell them that's not a request,
it's an instruction.

Go to trial.
- Daddy, I...

[phone hangs up]
[dramatic music]

My father is insisting
we go to trial.

[high tempo music fades in]

[eagle crying]

[dramatic music]

[whooshing]

[Mark groans]

[alarm beeps]

[lift pings]

[people chattering]

Morning, morning all.

Morning.

[everyone chattering]

I'm leaving the BBC.

Uh, and not...
not for a while yet. [laughs]

Anyway, I just, you know...

...I just felt like, you know,
I've done... 20 years here...

...and now is a good time
to try something different.

But you're no good at
anything else.

Well, I thought I'd try
parenting, Stew.

[laughs] Good for you.

- [Stewart] Mm.
- Yeah.

Well, maybe... maybe I'm making
a terrible mistake,

but I... I guess I won't know
till I try it.

So, what now? Are we just,

just gonna stand around here
really awkwardly?

No, no. No, look.

Anyway, look,
I got you all a mug.

- [Esme] Oh.
- [Jake] Right.

5.99 on Amazon.

Wow.
[gentle music]

This is, um, extraordinary. Wow.

[laughter]

[Jake] No expense spared.

Something to remember me by, hey.

[mugs clink]
Cheers.

Cheers. Cheers.

[Sam] Well done. How are we
going to do any work now?

Thank you.

[suspenseful music]

[eagle cries]

[footsteps approaching]

Thank you.

[door closes]

Sarah.

I’d offer you tea...

but we've had to let
the staff go.

Your Royal Highness,
Beatrice, Eugenie.

Sir Edward.

There was something
you wanted to tell me?

Ms Guiffre's legal team have
agreed terms

for an out of court settlement.

After consulting
with Her Majesty,

I'm instructed to inform you
that as of today,

this case is now closed.

A statement has been prepared

and will be released...

...along with the announcement
of the settlement.

How much are you paying her?

I am not at liberty to divulge
the amount.

Understandably, Her Majesty
and the Prince of Wales

are concerned to avoid any more
negative publicity

as we approach the Queen's
Platinum Jubilee.

If you don't let me fight...

I will forever look guilty.

I should be allowed to clear
my name.

I'm afraid the time for fighting
has passed, Sir.

There is simply too much
at stake to risk further delay.

Well, actually, it's not for you
to say.

You'll report back to my brother

and you'll tell him...
I fight on.

Given the circumstances,
the Queen also feels

it would be a distraction
if you were to attend

her Jubilee celebrations.

We thought the least
embarrassing excuse

would be Covid.

[panicked breathing]

Where do I go?

Hmm? What do I do?

Tell me.

Wh... what do I do?

You live with the consequences
of your actions, Sir.

[footsteps receding]

[office chatter]

[office phone ringing]

[solemn music]

[lift pings]

[Jubilee celebration plays

[lift pings]
[doors trundle open]

[Jubilee celebration plays
on television]

[reporter] It's a sea of people.

There's such a huge atmosphere.

Yes, here we are now.

The doors have opened and

there she is.

This is the moment we've all
been waiting for.

When the whole country
and the Commonwealth

say thank you to Her Majesty.

The crowd stretching back

as far as the eye can see...

[Emily] So, if Virginia Roberts
is watching this interview.

What is your message to her?

[paper fluttering]

[dramatic crescendo]

[Andrew] I don't... I don't have
a message for her,

because I... I have to have
a thick skin.

And if somebody's gonna make
those sorts of allegations,

I have to have a thick skin,
and I've just got to get on with it.

But they never happened.
