Prince William is not a fan of Hollywood film projects that are about his family.

Drama surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein has been brewing for years.
"We have been bombarded with screenwriters wanting to bring this story to us. The race is on in Hollywood to be the first studio to bring out an Andrew film," a Disney Studios insider revealed.
Another Tinseltown source claimed: "There have been discussions for some time with Left Bank Pictures, which owns the rights to The Crown, for a series of one-off specials about royal scandals and dramas."
"The Crown as a series has ended but the name will live on. There have been advanced talks about doing a limited series, under The Crown banner, about the Andrew saga which is as dramatic, if not more dramatic, than anything shown in the original series which included episodes on the abdication and the death of [Princess] Diana," they added.

The show dramatized many pivotal moments in the Firm’s history, beginning with the monarch’s reign in 1952 and concluding with the 2005 wedding of King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Both productions were broadcast in 2024 and chronicled BBC anchor Emily Maitlis' infamous 2019 interview with Andrew about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein and s-- trafficking victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre.
Jeremy Brock, the screenwriter behind A Very Royal Scandal also told Daily Mail that "Netflix and Amazon executives are 100 percent talking about making a drama based on Andrew's continued downfall."
The former royal's reputation got worse after he was arrested on February 19 (his 66th birthday) on suspicion of sharing confidential information with Epstein while serving as the United Kingdom's trade envoy from 2001 until 2011.
