Journalist Emily Maitlis couldn't believe it when a drama based on her interview with Prince Andrew was being made into a series and that Ruth Wilson would be playing her
The unforgettable interview between Emily Maitlis and Prince Andrew is being brought to life in a new Prime Video drama. The 2019 sit-down, where the Royal addressed his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and denied allegations of sexual assault made by Virginia Giuffre, is being dramatised across three episodes.
Ruth continued, "I found this story fascinating because it goes behind-the-scenes of these two public figures. I have never played a journalist before so it was really a huge challenge for me, playing a public figure that we all know." "Objectively, it does feel ridiculous there's no doubt about it! " Emily laughs. "Ultimately, it's an extraordinary privilege to have a world-class actress, literally one of Britain's best, not just playing you but really trying to understand your role, your job, your work, your actions, your voice. I'm bowled over, really, that she wanted to take on the role, and I feel incredibly privileged and happy that it was Ruth.
