What happens

Prince Andrew: The Musical is a 2022 British made-for-television biographical musical comedy film written by and starring Kieran Hodgson. The musical is a "satirical send-up" of the life of the former Prince Andrew, and covers key events during his life, including his relationships, controversies, and his infamous 2019 interview with journalist Emily Maitlis. The musical aired on Channel 4 on 29 December 2022 and also stars Emma Sidi as Maitlis, Munya Chawawa as Andrew's brother, the then Prince Charles, and Harry Enfield as former Prime Minister Tony Blair. It is part of the network's newly commissioned programmes to mark its 40th anniversary and was first announced in August 2022 at the Edinburgh International Television Festival. The show received mixed reviews from critics. In November 2025, in light of the loss of Andrew's royal titles, Channel 4 announced that the musical would henceforth be rebranded on its streaming service as simply Andrew: The Musical (stylised as Prince Andrew: The Musical).
