DUKE OF HAZARD Oblivious Prince Andrew nearly runs over dog as mortified owner sprints to save pet a day after shock Netflix show airs
PRINCE Andrew was spotted nearly running over a dog - just a day after a bombshell Netflix show about him aired.
Andrew was driving down the Long Walk on the crown estate in Windsor when a small black dog dashed in front of his Range Rover.
The prince could not see the dog - but his bodyguard noticed its owner waving and told Andrew to hit the brakes.
Thankfully, the Range Rover came to a halt without hitting the pooch.
A source said Andrew took the kerfuffle in good humour and laughed as the dog's mortified owner sprinted to retrieve it.
The witness said: "The Long Walk was crowded with people enjoying the warm weather.Andrew's bodyguard saw the people frantically waving in the nick of time.
"Everyone was laughing when they saw who was driving the Range Rover."
Earlier today Andrew looked utterly miserable as he went for a ride near his home on the Crown estate in Windsor.
The father-of-two faces fresh embarrassment following the release of new Netflix film Scoop.Starring Rufus Sewell and Gillian Anderson, the film tracks Andrew's disastrous Newsnight interview with the BBC's Emily Maitlis.
Back in November 2019, Andrew sat down with Maitlis to discuss his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The film is based on Sam McAllister's memoir, Scoops: Behind The Scenes of the BBC's Most Shocking Interviews.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward told The Sun's Royal Exclusive show that the film's release spells more bad news for Andrew.
Seward said: "I think that Prince Andrew's royal life is over because it's so tainted.
"It sticks - unless he can find a way of proving his innocence.
"Even if he did prove his innocence, I'm not sure that people would believe it.
"It's a really, really unpleasant sticker he's got on him. I think it would be very difficult.
"I think he should just remove himself and go and live in Canada.
"He's far too near it all. It must be so miserable being a prisoner, albeit in the most beautiful house.
"Why doesn't he just say 'I'm going to go and live in Canada in a cabin in the woods?'"Scoop's cast also includes Keeley Hawes as Andrew's former private secretary Amanda Thirsk and Billie Piper as BBC fixer Sam McAllister.
The film is based on McAllister's memoir, Scoops: Behind The Scenes of the BBC's Most Shocking Interviews.
SCOOP IT UP
Gillian Anderson and Billie Piper lead the cast in Scoop, tracking Prince Andrew's interview with Newsnight about Jeffrey Epstein.
Back in November 2019, the Royal sat down with journalist Emily Maitlis to discuss his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Scoop details the behind-the-scenes account of the "news interview of the decade", with an all-star cast as the key players.
While Gillian plays journalist Emily, and Billie will portray Sam McAllister, who negotiated and secured the bombshell interview, Prince Andrew is brought to the screen by Rufus Sewell.
Rufus, 56, is best known for his roles in films like The Holiday and A Knight's Tale as well as TV shows including The Diplomat and The Man in the High Castle.
But to portray Prince Andrew, Rufus has ditched his head of dark salt and pepper curls and replaced it with a short, grey cut to resemble the disgraced Royal.
The Scoop cast also sees Keeley Hawes play Amanda Thirsk, the former Private Secretary to Prince Andrew.
The film is based on Sam McAllister's memoir, Scoops: Behind The Scenes of the BBC's Most Shocking Interviews.
