Amazon Prime's Very Royal Scandal viewers fume 'I can't find it'

Today, Amazon Prime dropped its latest drama, A Very Royal Scandal, which delves into Prince Andrew's notorious Newsnight interview with ex-BBC journalist Emily Maitlis. While Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson are receiving accolades for their portrayals of the Duke and interviewer, some viewers have expressed frustration.

Amazon Prime subscribers are finding it tough to locate the drama on the service. Typing A Very Royal Scandal into the Prime Video search bar doesn't seem to bring up the show.

Instead, a 2001 Sherlock Holmes movie titled The Royal Scandal tops the search results on Amazon. This confusion arises because the three-part drama is actually part of the anthology series, A Very English Scandal, reports the Express.

The dramatisation of Prince Andrew's infamous interview is in fact the third season of Amazon's Scandal series, previously a joint venture with the BBC. Unlike its predecessors, A Very British Scandal and A Very English Scandal, the BBC has not co-produced this new chapter.

Today, puzzled fans headed over to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to inquire whether the show had even been released. An irritated viewer commented: "A Very Royal Scandal is on Prime Video but we are forced to hunt for it. It does not come up in search!"

One social media user noted: "Latest depiction of #PrinceAndrew and #JefferyEpstein's relationship has been released on @PrimeVideo but not easily searchable for some reason..."

"But all 3 episodes are there if you scroll through!" (sic)

Meanwhile, a puzzled Tweet read: "Americans! Where is A Very Royal Scandal? I can't find it."

Another confused viewer reached out saying: "Hi @AmazonUK why don't I have A Very Royal Scandal on my Prime? I understand it was released at 0800 BST. Thanks!" (sic)

A further flummoxed individual commented online: "I've been searching for A Very Royal Scandal for hours now but all that is available to me, despite having a prime video subscription is the 2018 series A Very English Scandal.

"Does anyone know if we have to subscribe to some super prime subscription or something to watch it?"
