Actor Michael Sheen portrays the Duke Of York in the new production yet he appeared to be absent from the screening in NYC.

Amazon Prime released the trailer for upcoming drama A Very Royal Scandal last Wednesday, after announcing when it will drop on the streamer.

Set to retell the story of Prince Andrew's 'car crash' interview the dramatisation stars Michael as the Duke of York and Ruth as journalist Emily.

The three part series will premiere on 19 September exclusively on Prime Video in the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

It comes just five months after rival streaming platform Netflix's version, which was out on April 5.

In the trailer, Wilson's Emily can be seen pursuing the story that would make her a global household name and destroy the Prince's reputation in a pivotal moment in British history.

Before the interview, the Duke of York quips: 'I'm going to blow this out of the water.'

He adds in a voiceover: 'I've been warned about you. You have a bit of a reputation.'

Emily then cheekily responds, while sitting across from him: 'Well, for you, I'll try and behave.'

It then cuts to the interview and then its aftermath, where Emily says: 'I was only ever hoping to ask the right questions.'

The upcoming series by Amazon MGM Studios will focus far more on Emily - who serves as an executive producer, whereas Netflix's Scoop focused on Prince Andrew.

A spokesperson for Amazon confirmed the series will 'follow Emily Maitlis' professional and personal journey as a Newsnight journalist, leading up to her acclaimed interview with Prince Andrew.'

A press released added: 'A Very Royal Scandal follows the action of Emily and Prince Andrew in the lead-up to the interview, the ground-breaking event itself and the many questions left in its wake that would change their lives forever.'
