Prince Andrew has been a much-talked-about figure in the news cycle in the last couple of years and is now set to have his own satirical musical biopic in Channel 4's Prince Andrew: The Musical.
The synopsis on the Radio Times reads: "With seven hilarious original musical numbers and revealing archive footage, the Duke of York's downfall gets a West End-style treatment, as Andrew goes from '80s war hero to present-day royal outcast amid damaging allegations and an ill-advised Newsnight interview."
It is written by Kieran Hodgson, who also stars as Andrew, and also features roles for comedians like Harry Enfield and Munya Chawawa.
The hour-long special is part of Channel 4’s Truth and Dare: 40 Years of Pushing Boundaries season and will depict Andrew's marriage troubles as well as the allegations of sexual assault and subsequent lawsuit.
