The makers of The Crown have decided to swerve the thorny issue of Prince Andrew and his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Netflix show has included Princess Diana’s shock departure from the royal family, Lord Mountbatten’s death, the tragic history of Princess Alice, and the dark past of Elizabeth’s uncle.
Scriptwriters have also tackled the real life tragedy in Aberfan, and Charles and Camilla’s (cough, cough) intimate phone call… In fact, there’s very little the serial drama is afraid to dramatise.
Until now.
Will Jeffrey Epstein appear in The Crown?
The Crown scriptwriters have made the decision to erase Prince Andrew’s controversial friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, it has been revealed.
Actor James Murray will reprise his role as Prince Andrew in the upcoming sixth and final season of the Netflix show. But the writers have decided to omit a rather sticky storyline.
The Crown series 6 will focus on the lives of the royal family throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. However it will NOT include any reference to Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Or his alleged encounter with Victoria Giuffre.
The Metro reports that “The Crown season 6 will be tackling Prince Andrew’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein by completely ignoring it”.
