Introducing Crown and Controversy - Prince Andrew

He was once the Queen’s favorite son — a decorated naval officer, a royal playboy, and a symbol of British prestige abroad. But behind the glittering titles and royal privilege, a darker story unfolded: one of arrogance, disastrous alliances, and the slow collapse of a man who believed the rules did not apply to him.

This season traces Andrew’s extraordinary fall — from palace favorite to pariah. Through the Epstein scandal, the BBC interview that shocked the world, and the final reckoning that saw King Charles strip his brother of every title, Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew explores how one man’s disgrace threatened the stability of the entire monarchy.

Told through dramatic reconstructions, insider accounts, and meticulous research, this twelve-part series reveals the private conversations, family tensions, and royal calculations behind one of the greatest scandals in modern royal history.

Because in the House of Windsor, the lesson is eternal: people may fall, but the crown must endure.
