The Netflix Series "The Crown" Avoids Prince Andrew's Involvement In The Epstein Scandal

The television series The Crown has been widely criticized for effectively ignoring or downplaying Prince Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, despite the centrality of that scandal to his public legacy. Although the final seasons of the show cover the period when allegations involving Epstein and Virginia Giuffre emerged, the creators elected not to dramatize Andrew’s relationship with Epstein or the ensuing lawsuits. As Newsweek noted, the show’s writer Peter Morgan explicitly stated that “Haven’t gone anywhere near him” when asked about depicting Andrew’s ties to Epstein.


Instead, the show skirts around the issue by making oblique references or metaphorical allusions (e.g. a scene where Andrew discusses a movie about a 17-year-old seduced by older predators) but never directly engages with the core claims, legal actions, or public uproar. Critics argue this amounts to a deliberate omission, shielding the royal narrative from one of the most consequential scandals of the era.
