BBC Panorama viewers left fuming over Andrew special as they issue same complaint

Panorama: The Fall of Prince Andrew aired on BBC One tonight, featuring a never-before-seen interview with alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre as part of the special. However, viewers were left baffled as they felt the episode showed "nothing but rehashed reports" they'd already seen before.

Taking to X, one BBC viewer fumed: "Tonight's BBC Panorama, about Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is nothing but rehashed reports." Another said: "#Panorama nothing new in this programme about Prince Andrew, but I hope all the names come out in the Epstein files."

A third raged: "#Panorama has made a desperate hatchet job of a programme." Someone else remarked: Not entirely sure what BBC Panorama tried to do there, but they reported nothing new whatsoever."

Despite the backlash, another viewer wrote: "Hearing it all again within the space of an hour won't do justice any harm."

Meanwhile, someone else remarked: "Who's watching 'The Fall of Prince Andrew' on BBC Panorama? The silence around accountability is deafening. Curious how it lands with viewers tonight."

Within the episode, the narrator recounts how Andrew had all his titles stripped from him, and he has had to move from the Royal Lodge to Sandringham. His brother, King Charles III initiated the formal process to remove the "style, titles and honours of Prince Andrew", who "will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor" last week.

The move comes following the release of Virginia's posthumous memoir, Nobody's Girl. The book details the two years she allegedly spent as a "sex slave" working for convicted paedophile Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell. Virginia died by taking her own life on her farm in Western Australia, aged 41.

Within the Panorama episode, the narrator said Andrew did not respond to the BBC when approached for comment. Andrew has denied all allegations made against him.

He ex, Lady Victoria Hervey, told Panorama: "I feel like they have kind of left him out for dead at the moment, you would think a family member, you would help them. But it just seems like he has been left for the vultures to get him."

The narrator ended the programme, saying: "It's the outcome Virginia wanted, but never lived to see."

A clip is then shown of Virginia, who claims: "He knows what happened, I know what happened. And there is only one of us telling the truth - and I know that's me."

The BBC Panorama episode is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
