juliannetennyson Brilliantly trenchant comedic rendition of the very real foibles of the direly flawed Royal Family. This show provides a cutting critique of the Royal Family and does so with great panache. As the show repeatedly demonstrates, the sad truth is that the Royal Family are a group of (originally German and not British) parasites leaching off the tax-paying British public. The show displays clearly how the Royal Family have no use and have not done anything of service to Britain or the world in the last 100 years. The Royal Family are to cite the show 'over-privileged wankers' whose only main concern is that the British public: pay for their lavish lifestyle, acknowledge their supposed superiority (even though they are all completely braindead idiots) and, to again cite the series 'show loyalty to the crown'. The only member of the Royal Family who has ever worked a day in his life is Andrew, who is an International Arms Dealer, and the show portrays Andrew and his rapport with his ex-wife, Fergie brilliantly; she is desperate to get back in with the Royals but also strapped for cash and ready to sell her body for any sum. The rest of the Royal Family are depicted in the show exactly as they truly are: effete, vain, idiots who spend their days boozing, on expensive holidays or pursuing useless, insipid, stupid, expensive vanity projects or attempting to manipulate the press to prove their sham of grandeur. This show demonstrates that you do not need fiction when you have fact and that sometimes comedy can comprise a vital means to criticise outdated social institutions effectively. The show cleverly takes real events concerning the Royal Family and allows for their comedic consumption by the public, revealing how flawed each member of the Royal Family is and the show does so to great comedic value: like Harry being a boozy, profligate idiot, William being a well-meaning but ineffectual, bumbling idiot, or Prince Charles a vainglorious, weak-willed excuse of a man whose only dream is to be king. Although the British Royal Family are an absolute disgrace, a superannuated hangover of a time that is long past, and nothing for a Brit to be proud of, this show manages to tell the truth about every single useless member of it whilst rendering it hilarious. Finally the British Royal Family are useful for something: having a laugh at. I am impressed with the writers and producers of this show who dared to show what a shambolic mess of vain, spoiled, stupid people the Royal Family consist of.

bettycjung 12/30/17. What a hoot! I loved it. This is the perfect parody about the royal family, and royal watchers would definitely enjoy it. Great writing and decent cast and good acting make this a must-see. Can't wait for additional episodes!

guyau-399-68372 This show is hilarious and a great foil to the palace press barrage that the media regurgitates mindlessly, summed up beautifully by my favourite line of the series from Will (or is it Harry, they all sound the same to me): "I love riding around on bicycles, wearing chinos and jumpers, and pretending to be like ordinary people."This is a merciless portrayal of the royals as a bunch of airheads, albeit mostly good-natured,but when your only real talent is being born (or marrying) into the right family, perhaps it's not that far off the mark. I'd like to say this is political satire at its best, skewering an anachronism that only undermines modern democracy, but really it's just making fun of a musty institution and its all-too-public characters. The impersonations are spot on and the irreverence is delicious.

timmsy-68237 good idea, badly executed, I find William and Kate the worst actors apart from the other 2 girls Bea? And something? but the jokes fall very flat and in 3 episodes I have not even actually laughed once.Also as they look nothing like the characters they are playing it can get rather strange and confusing.I gave it a 3 as the actor who plays Pippa is not actually that bad, but all the stupidity (purposeful though) is just annoying, not funny and ruins any clever writing hidden within the script.
