Def a laugh and a few things said in it that we were all thinking .. esp about pippa being only famous/ known for her "fantastic ass" all the charecters look like the real ppl even camilla is bang on and the accents :) wonder if the royal family watch this and what they think ?? def worth watching for a good laugh :D

This is back after quite a long hiatus, with some cast changes and - to judge by the storyline - it's because it's been given a new lease of life by the recent shenanigans of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The royal family are such a soft, slow-moving target that you feel the script must almost write itself, but it's brought to life by the fun performances and ludicrous accents. The satire, too, is ludicrous rather than malicious - it never really hits them where it hurts. In fact it's claimed that (non-specific) royals love the show and I can well believe they might, as although they are presented as useless and dim-witted it still makes them far more interesting and appealing than they really are. I bet Camilla PB, especially, has it in her Favourites.

It's definitely been one of the better Britcoms of recent years, and almost the only one that actually deserves a third series, but I think it's significant that it's a send-up; that seems to be the only thing British comedy can still do well (cf the undeservedly short-lived The Agency, also with Morgana Robinson, and The Goes Wrong Show).

Funny! They absolutely nailed it with Charles and Camilla. They're both hilarious. Prince William was pretty good. Princess Kate wasn't the best likeness but was okay. Her personality seemed very different than that of the real Kate. I didn't care for their story line though. They couldn't have done worse with Harry and Pippa. Actor Harry looks nothing like the real Harry. Pippa's actress and storyline are terrible. And where's Meghan?

Princess Anne is a riot. Eugenie and Beatrice are a fun addition, but their story line isn't very well written. There's a lot of swearing which I didn't care for.
