Netflix’s ‘The King Who Never Was’ Director on Reconstructing the Events of a Scandal in 1970s Italy
The King Who Never Was, a three-episode docuseries on Netflix, focuses on a tragic event in August 1978 that shocked Europe and remains a mystery to this day. It happened while Prince Victor Emmanuel of Savoy, the last heir to the Italian throne, was vacationing at his summer residence on the island of Cavallo, France, on the southern coast of Corsica, just a short distance from Italy. In his rage at a group of “intruding” Italian party goers spending the night on their boats on the shores of Cavallo, Victor Emmanuel produced a rifle and shot a young German tourist, Dirk Hamer, sleeping on the deck of one of the boats.

Unlike in the U.K., Spain and Sweden — where kings and queens are still formally heads of state — Italy’s royal family, the House of Savoy, no longer rules.
The last heir to the Italian throne, Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy and his family were forced into exile in 1946, when the prince was 9. That year, the Italian people voted in a referendum about whether the monarchy should continue. They chose to create a republic and punished the royals for failing to save their country from Mussolini’s fascist regime. The Savoys were allowed to return in 2003 after 57 years of exile.
In 1978, Vittorio Emanuele – the king who never was – got into trouble while he and his wife and kids were living on the island of Cavallo, on the south coast of Corsica, France.
