He was crowned in a majestic ceremony (inset) inside Westminster Abbey a year ago today. But in the year since that stunning day, His Majesty has had a lot to deal with, both personally and as a father, husband and as head of the Royal Family. He continues to undergo cancer treatment after his diagnosis in February (bottom left), which was followed by the Princess of Wales's own shock health news. The nation was stunned when Kate revealed (top right) in March that she too is suffering from cancer, which was found after she underwent major abdominal surgery at the same time as Charles was initially treated for an enlarged prostate (left, leaving hospital). It came after the Royal Family was rocked by the death of Thomas Kingston, the son-in-law of the King's cousin Prince Michael of Kent . He took his own life at his parents' home on February 25. And in April, Charles grappled with renewed focus on his disgraced brother Prince Andrew amid the release of Netflix drama Scoop (centre right), which focused on his disastrous Newsnight interview following his relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and the fallout from the sexual assault allegations made by Virginia Giuffre. It came after the publication of Omid Scobie's book Endgame (bottom right) in November last year.

Paolo Liuzzo was well-off, well-educated, smoothly handsome and extremely well connected - in other words, a man who had been dealt a hand of cards that can make life both worthwhile and rewarding. Appearances, however, can be deceptive. The good fortune that the fates had bestowed, which included a few months of global celebrity as Princess Beatrice 's first serious boyfriend, could not keep pace with a fast and unravelling life. He had a criminal record that included being charged with manslaughter and possession of cocaine and would go on to embarrass the Royal Family with lurid claims of drug-taking and hard partying.

Prince Andrew "incriminated himself" during his car-crash Newsnight interview, according to Good Morning Britain host Ed Balls.

The film explores Emily Maitlis' 2019 interview with Andrew, played by Rufus Sewell, who was questioned about his relationship with disgraced paedophil financier Jeffrey Epstein. The interview was dubbed a disaster by critics, who accused the Duke of failing to show remorse for Epstein's victims. By the late queen, Andrew was also stripped of his royal positions and coerced to withdraw from public life.

Rufus Sewell, 56, who can currently be seen in Netflix's Prince Andrew, was seen out and about in west London with a new £70 frying pan under his arm.

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 6, 2024
Prince Andrew has been trying to recover his image for years, first as a result of his ties with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and then after his car-crash Newsnight appearance. Scoop, Netflix's film based on Sam McAlister's book, came out on yesterday. Andrew was chastised for his television appearance due to a lack of respect for the scores of women Epstein trafficked and assaulted over three decades.

Why is an £80m art fraudster who's just walked out of jail starring in a BBC series about his life of crime?

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 5, 2024
Allenwood, Pennsylvania, is certainly not one of the world's best spots to spot a Made in Chelsea celebrity, but it is certainly not one of them. And yet it was here, in this tiny rural pinprick on the United States map, Victoria Baker-Harber was spotted awaiting the release of her art fraudster boyfriend from a prison with three times as many prisoners as the whistle-stop hamlet's 314-strong population. The 'good' event happened earlier this year, when disgraced London-born art dealer Inigo Philbrick was released from Allenwood federal prison to 'home confinement,' where he will be monitored for the next two years by an electronic ankle tag. 'A long stretch, but here we are!' Baker-Harber, 35, posted on Instagram along with a photo of her adorable three-year-old daughter, Gaia, who was born while her father was in jail, while her father was in prison. There was no mention of the massive £80 million global art fraud committed by 36-year-old Philbrick or the scores of homeless victims, of course.

Facts versus fiction: how much of Prince Andrew's Newsnight interview is accurate?

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 5, 2024
Prince Andrew's infamous Newsnight interview in 2019 has been reimagined in Netflix's much-anticipated film retelling Prince Andrew's infamous Newsnight interview. Scoop offers a number of potential reveals that were not covered in the original BBC series, amid skepticism. The hour-long film aims to capture the tensions behind booking the Duke of York for the show, where Maitlis discussed Virginia Giuffre's allegations that she was coerced to have sex with Andrew three times when she was 17 under Jeffrey Epstein's orders, as well as the cast's heightened tension during the period. It also has those unexpected occurrences, like when dozens of teddy bears piled up on his bed at Buckingham Palace. But are such moments just too bizarre to be true

Emily Maitlis has spoken out against Netflix's dramatization of her infamous Prince Andrew interview, saying she "left them very much to do their own thing." Scoop, the documentary, delves into the truth behind Andrew's Newsnight interview, who talked about his encounter with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. However, Maitlis, a woman played by Gillian Anderson, said she was not interested because "the last thing they want is me peeking around the edges." giving her opinion. The Netflix film, which came out today, was an adaptation of a book by Sam McAlister, the producer who ended the interview. Matilis, on the other hand, is still working on her own version of the Amazon story A Very Royal Scandal. McAlister has also spoken out about Scoop, and was asked by Hello! I'd like to know if Buckingham Palace had contacted her on the red carpet. She chuckled, saying, 'I'm still waiting for my CBE, but I'm not positive it's going to happen.'

Prince Andrew emerges for the first time as Scoop hits the screen: Duke breaks cover on a horse ride in Windsor - as 'hugely embarrassing' Netflix film piles pressure on the Palace

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 5, 2024
As Scoop painstakingly retells the entire sorry tale, the Duke of York, 64, is once more in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Rufus Sewell plays the late Queen's son, while Gillian Anderson portrays Ms Maitlis, who questioned Andrew about his friendship with billionaire convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Despite facing yet more public humiliation, Andrew appeared in good spirits this morning, smiling broadly as he rode Windsor Castle with a female companion.

The insider's guide to Balmoral for those who missed out on a £100 ticket! ROBERT HARDMAN visits the royal castle for the first time

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 5, 2024
For all the portraits, buses, and fine furniture, I have no doubt that it will be the personal stuff that has lingers longest in the public's memory. It is usually the tell-tale signs of family life - a wedding photo, perhaps, or even a trampoline in a ducal garden - which always grab the attention. Balmoral Castle is, above all, a family retreat, as the first busload of tourists arrives for the first time when the King opens its doors to the paying public for the first time. This is without a doubt the country's most famous castle, with its position as the home of our country's longest-serving monarch departed this life for the next (still doing her duties to the end). It has been revived in a number of dramas and films, and it has appeared in several popular memoirs. However, to the Royal Family, it is synonymous with escape, peace, secrecy, and happy memories.

Scoop review - A mischievous script, Rufus Sewell's emotionally-arrested prince and Billie Piper's brassy booker make for an electrifying recreation of THAT Newsnight interview, writes BRIAN VINER

No surprise there.
