The royal family narrowly avoided another troubling headline on Saturday. prince andrew's Bodyguards reportedly raised the alarm just before the royal collided with a small, off-leash dog.
according to Sunluckily a collision was avoided, but the accident happened on Saturday. king charles iii We drove a Range Rover SUV along the Long Walk, a 4.2-mile stretch of road through Windsor Great Park, just outside Windsor Castle. The open spaces dotted with trees are popular with area walkers, runners, and those bringing their dogs.
The prince had just left the royal residence when a small dark dog ran in front of his car. In fact, the puppy was so close that Andrew couldn't see it, the paper reported.
His bodyguard, who was in the passenger seat, noticed walkers and other park users waving frantically in a manner other than the typical “Look, there's the royal family!” . and found the dog's guardian sprinting towards the car.
He warned Andrew and Andrew slammed on the brakes. The British tabloid quoted an eyewitness as saying, “Everyone was laughing when they saw who was driving the Range Rover,” adding that the dog's guardian was “mortified.”
The moment was a vague echo of a scene from a Netflix movie. scoop, released just the day before.In that movie, the BBC news night interviewer Emily MaitlisAs played by Gillian Andersonis walking her dog in a public park, but is distracted and stressed about how to approach her upcoming interview with Andrew (rufus sewell). Her mind was elsewhere and she realized too late that her dog had run away.
The dog was supposed to represent Mr Maitlis' real-life whip pet, Moody, but he ignored his guardian's cries for him to come back. Maitlis had no chance of catching the whippet on foot, as the animal can reach speeds of up to 55 miles per hour, but Maitlis was relieved when the animal eventually returned. As she cradled it, a man sitting on a bench near her said to her: And when they're ready to come, you won't be there. ”
Anderson's Maitlis looks up and how that wisdom guides her now infamous 2019 interview with the Crown Prince over his relationship with convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. I realized that the key was about.
“I knew I had to give an interview that would stand up in court. Once I knew I had a chance, there was no mistake,” the real-life Maitlis said of the interview years later. “I was terrified of everything. I was scared that I would say the wrong thing and be too disobedient or too rude,” says any responsible dog parent. But they express similar concerns when it comes to training their pets.
It's unclear what the errant dog's owner did with the pup in the hours after the dog ran for its life on Saturday. While he was certainly relieved that his dog was unharmed, he wondered whether things would have been worse off today, the dog or the disgraced royal family, if things had gone the other way. Some people may think so.
