Prince Harry once questioned a decision regarding his uncle, the Duke of York Prince Andrew, and his words have resurfaced as Scoop airs on Netflix
As Netflix’s Scoop grips viewers, Prince Harry’s words regarding his uncle Prince Andrew have resurfaced.
The Duke of Sussex made reference to the Duke of York’s controversy as he wrote his memoir, Spare. Harry seemingly took aim at the decision to allow his uncle to continue to have fully paid security, while his own was removed. It came after Andrew’s links with disgraced Jeffrey Epstein came to light and Andrew was allowed to keep his royal police protection despite having to pay an out of court settlement for a sexual assault case brought against him.
Although Andrew’s security remained, he was stripped of his military and royal titles in January 2022 following the accusations and course brought against him by Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Harry wrote in his book: “Despite being involved in an embarrassing scandal, accused of having sexually abused a young woman, nobody had suggested removing his security.”

Harry has since lost another case in a bid to be given the security protection on any UK return. He had fought and lost a High Court challenge against the government over his security when he is in the UK but is set to launch an appeal. Harry argued his US-based security detail did not have sufficient jurisdiction in Britain to adequately protect him and his family. They further argued his hiring of British police officers during the duration of his trips would come at no cost to the taxpayer.
Harry’s resurfaced words come as Scoop, the eagerly-anticipated Netflix drama was released to give viewers an inside look at the women who managed to secure the biggest scoop of the decade, breaking through the Buckingham Palace establishment and securing an interview with under-fire Prince Andrew.
The infamous BBC interview was widely seen as a disaster for the Royal Family and many believe it severely damaged King Charles’ brothers reputation. Scoop is based on Sam McAlister’s book “Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC’s Most Shocking Interviews”.
In the controversial interview Prince Andrew strenuously denied having sexual relations with Virginia Giuffre when she was 17, claiming he was at Pizza Express in Woking on the alleged day of the incident.
