The Rise and Fall of the House of York

The Rise and Fall of the House of York

Once defined by privilege, now marked by disgrace

72 Films for Channel 4, UK

3 x 60'

Using the acclaimed book Entitled as its foundation, this series unravels the truth behind the rise and fall of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson – the royal love story that has turned into a full-blown global scandal.

Each episode will peel back the layers of secrecy – from Andrew’s early arrogance, sense of entitlement, and ties to Jeffrey Epstein, to Sarah’s financial excesses, serial reinventions, and their shared, transactional relationship with the media. With forensic research, the series will follow the money, expose the power plays and reveal the human flaws at the heart of this extraordinary royal drama.

As with all 72 Films production, the documentary will be underpinned by robust journalism and ethical editorial practice, combining immersive archive, cinematic storytelling and unflinching cultural analysis, to create a series that is intimate, candid and resonant.
