Channel 4 will air a documentary about Prince Andrew as part of its alternative coverage of King Charles coronation.

The coronation ceremony is set to take place on May 6th and celebrations will be happening all over the country.

However, Channel 4 have prepared for journalist Emily Maitlis to make her TV return in a two part series breaking down the bombshell interview with Prince Andrew that caught the attention of everyone in the country.

The documentary will dive into the story behind Andrew's Newsnight appearance and the scandals surrounding him, and will include contributions from palace insiders and BBC producer Sam McAlister.

Maitlis will give her own account of the work that was put into the 2019 broadcast, which saw her challenge the Duke on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

The documentary will mark a major TV return for Maitlis, who is also serving as executive producer, following her departure from the BBC after she accused the broadcaster of being biased towards the Conservative Party.

Channel 4 which will also give viewers another chance to see Prince Andrew: The Musical, which was first released late last year.

Channel 4's chief content officer Ian Katz said:

‚Channel 4 exists to provide viewers with an alternative, so as the nation is engulfed by pomp, circumstance and forelock-tugging, we'll be offering a rather less reverential slate of programmes, including Frankie Boyle's case against the monarchy and The Windsors' scabrous satirical take on the coronation.

Boyle's one off comedy special Farewell to the Monarchy was pulled from the schedules last year over fears of a fierce backlash after the death of Queen Elizabeth.

Following her death, the comedian tweeted: "Let's spare a thought for everyone who was just putting the finishing touches to a humorous documentary about the monarchy."

During the piece, he says: "Increasingly, the British monarchy appear like animals in a zoo that has fallen on hard times. Fidgety, balding, pacing up and down their marble cage, pausing only to chew their own tail off or commit a sex crime out of boredom.
