Beatrice Borromeo Casiraghi on Netflix Docuseries 'Il Principe'

Beatrice Borromeo Casiraghi, director of the new Netflix docuseries 'Il Principe,' discusses the project in an interview. The series investigates the 1978 death of 19-year-old Dirk Hamer in Corsica, for which Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia was accused. Borromeo Casiraghi emphasizes the generational trauma and consequences of the event, moving beyond a simple true-crime narrative. She explains that the title 'Il Principe' reflects Vittorio Emanuele's princely identity and sense of impunity. Emanuele Filiberto, Vittorio Emanuele's son, saw the series before release and deemed it 'correct and balanced.' The opening credits were created by animator Donato Sansone. Borromeo Casiraghi's production company, Astrea Film, is also planning a project on the Grimaldi family.
