    • Trivia
      After performing in the original play in Almeida Theatre, Tim Pigott-Smith and Oliver Chris reprised their roles of King Charles III and Prince William of Wales, respectively, for the small screen.
    • Goofs
      The prop Instrument of Abdication shown has been copy and pasted from that of King Edward VIII. This means the phrase about renouncing the throne also for his descendants has been left in, meaning William could not succeed Charles.

    Characters saying unrealistic things
    I don't give a rating because I only lasted 3 minutes into it. After hearing Camilla explain to Kate that Charles is king immediately after the queen's death instead of at coronation, and that the UK doesn't have a constitution, I knew this was written so that characters say things to each other that they already know, for the sake of the audience. Bad writing at its worst.
