Prince Andrew: Banished

This film is a decent enough overview of the life of Prince Andrew and his fall from grace. Even though some of the topics are indecent, this Peacock documentary deserves much credit for refraining from using indecent language and photographs. (Some of the photographs are a bit risque, but not too much.)

We basically learn Prince Andrew was his mother's favorite, was spoilt, had a purpose in life when he was in the Navy, and it all went downhill after he left the Navy. He liked the good life, but did not have his older brother's money or position in life. This resulted in very bad choices, including a close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The film jumps around in its interviews with various individuals, but not in a confusing way, like so many other documentaries of its type. It does focus on his "sex addiction" and Virginia Giuffre's lawsuit, but, once again, not in a sensationalized way. Peacock does indeed deserve praise for not making a sleazy type film, but one that provides a lot of facts, as well as a concise picture of Prince Andrew's life.
