The film is about how the BBC got the interview and why the prince chose to show up. The working name is “Scoop” and the script is written by Peter Moffat, known for, among other things, the TV series “Your honor”.
The interview was done by BBC journalist Emily Maitlis and aired in late 2019 on the program Newsnight. There, the prince was confronted with information that 20 years ago he had forced sex on him from a then 17-year-old girl who also said that he sweated profusely when they danced. His defense was that the designation was incorrect because he had a strange ailment that prevented him from sweating.
The answer was met with both criticism and scorn and shortly afterwards the prince had to leave all his official duties.
The recordings are expected to start in November.
