The Crown’s producer Andy Harries has revealed the hit series could be set to return with a spin off featuring ‘fairly tawdry events’ other royals.
The co-founder of Left Bank Pictures, 69, admitted members of the royal’s ‘inner circle’ have ‘been in contact’ with raunchy and scandalous stories.
Speaking on the Have You Seen? podcast, Andy said many events were left out of the series as they ‘took the high road,’ but added: ‘I think one day Peter [Morgan] or any other producers might reveal many of the stories which we decided not to feature.’
He added: ‘Fergie doesn’t feature heavily in the series. We didn’t do the toe sucking story.
‘It wasn’t because it wasn’t a good or interesting story, but it was not central to the theme of the show… it was a side show and I think we have done well to avoid the silly sideshows.’

Andy also revealed that members of ‘the circle around the royal family’ had been in contact.
He continued: ‘Koo Stark rang me up, she got straight through to me and offered her services. She was briefly a girlfriend of Prince Andrew.’
The photographer and actress met the Duke of York then second in line to the throne, after being introduced by a mutual acquaintance on his 21st birthday in February 1981.
Their relationship was discovered a year and a half later, and Koo was subjected to frenzy of media attention.
Sarah, known as Fergie, and Prince Andrew divorced 27 years ago but still live together at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park.
Among Fergie’s most embarrassing gaffes was when photographs were published showing her having her toes sucked by her financial adviser John Bryan at her holiday villa in St Tropez.
The pair were also seen kissing, embracing and frolicking in the pool.
She was also said to have had a rift with her once good friend, Princess Diana, after she claimed she got a verruca after borrowing a pair of her shoes.

They were reportedly still not speaking at the time of Diana’s death in 1997.
And in 2010 she apologised after being secretly recorded offering to sell access to Andrew in return for £500,000.
The first part of the sixth and final series of The Crown aired on November 16 and followed the eight weeks in the lead up to the tragic death of Princess Diana.
The opening moments of the series show the moments leading up to the car crash that killed Diana and Dodi (Khalid Abdalla), before flashing back to eight weeks earlier.
Netflix stressed throughout production of series six that viewers will not see the very moment of the crash which killed Diana and Dodi Fayed. But the episode does play an audio of the fatal incident.
