Prince Andrew: The Musical, the one-off musical biopic of the royal’s public fall from grace, is set to air on Channel 4 in the run up to New Years Eve. The comedy special was commissioned as part of Channel 4’s 40th anniversary celebration.
The show is masterminded by Kieran Hodgson (Two doors down) who writes, directs, and stars as the lead in the satirical musical. Hodgson admits he has faced legal limitations and pressure to create a “light-hearted comedy for Christmas”.

Hide AdIn an interview with The Times, Hodgson spoke about writing the musical: “I thought it was more interesting to see the trajectory of decline and fall from a high starting point. To see the main characters’ attractive qualities in order to have their less attractive qualities thrown into relief.”
He continued: “The decisions Andrew has made are his own decisions, the mess he has got into is a very particular one. However, I think it is a bizarre and monstrous fate to be born in the royal family, to have your whole perception of the world and your place in it warped from the very start.”
