Princess Beatrice tells Prince Andrew that the backlash regarding his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is “a lot worse” than he thinks during a scene in Scoop.
Actress Charity Wakefield plays the Princess of York and Rufus Sewell depicts Prince Andrew in the newly released film.
Scoop is based on the lead-up to the Duke of York’s career-ending interview with the BBC’s Newsnight programme.
During the scene, Prince Andrew and Princess Beatrice take a meeting with BBC presenter Emily Maitlis and booker Sam McAlister regarding the interview.

McAlister quizzes the royal on whether he is aware of the backlash on social media to his friendship with Epstein.
She says regarding Andrew’s reputation: “Randy Andy. Air Miles Andy. This is sex and girls and planes and private islands and money.
“With respect, the public see these stories and they think ‘yep, I can believe that.'”
Andrew responds by saying that he does not pay attention to social media before Beatrice interjects and tells her father: “I do”.
Beatrice adds: “[It’s] a lot worse than what she just said.”
