It looks like Prince Andrew had guidance from the Room Next Door

As we all watched Prince Andrew give Emily Maitlis the best excuse to yell “What the fuck!” that she’ll ever get on television, we suspect a lot of us were also picturing Michael Spicer in torment in a nearby room, pleading with the Prince to follow instructions and calling him creative names. Well …we can now see how a snippet of that might have gone.

He got off lightly with the delightful “Pompous nipple”. As always, Michael’s sterling work has gone down brilliantly …outside the Palace, at least.

not even 10 seconds in and I laughed out loud

We’re not sure whether actual Boomer Prince Andrew enjoys Twitter or not, but if he does, this scenario seems plausible.

Prince Andrew thinking "well that went well, that Michael Spicer chap won't be able to do anything with this interview. I'm in the clear."

He’ll be sweating over the thought of the long version.
