Comedy series about Andrew Windsor becomes a hit amid the Epstein scandal

But clips reappearing online from season three – airing just months after Epstein’s death in 2019 – have wowed new audiences.

In one episode, the fictional Andrew declares, “This whole Epstein thing has put quite a dent in my, uh, other income streams.”

And the King Charles character responds, “Ah yes. Your nonce friend who hanged himself.”

Windsor continues, “Hey, I used to go to his parties, fly on his jets and stay at his house – but I was never his friend.”

A senior streaming executive said: “Viewers are coming back in droves because the jokes now land differently and look fiercer than ever. What once seemed like a far-fetched parody feels uncomfortably close to the public record, making the series a hit again in the wake of scandal.”

Another television insider said, “People want to understand how satire captured the mood years before the real crises unfolded. The show’s writers tapped into something in the culture, and audiences realize how sharp that edge was.”

The series also mocked Markle, now 44, and her 41-year-old husband Harry, whose departure from royal duties rocked the monarchy.

In season three, the fictional Markle gave speeches about mindfulness, avocados and the “power of yes,” which William dismissed on-screen as, “Just like a TED talk, only longer and more boring.”
