In 2018, the people behind the BBC news program Newsnight (1980) entered into negotiations with the representatives of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for an exclusive interview. The former, as a new program, would not do an interview with topics that were off the table, the one they knowing being that probable issue from the Prince's representatives being his friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Epstein's girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. The progress of these negotiations is interspersed with a chronology of the Prince's life: he being the favored offspring of Queen Elizabeth II, always being the "runner-up" as being second in line to the throne from his birth to slowly dropping in line over time, he coming into his own in being considered a war hero in his naval service, his playboy reputation moving into his fairy-tale marriage to Sarah Ferguson and their just as quick fall from public grace in their divorce which is known to have contained infidelity on both sides, and he being back on the dating market while needing to reinvent himself which included the dichotomy between his relatively small royal stipend against he continuing that outward lavish life of a royal leading in part to his friendship with extremely wealthy Epstein. A profile of Epstein is also provided leading into and out of that conviction.
