The King is famously a great fan of comedy and, if he ever sees the show, will probably laugh to see himself in a kilt on a golf course, flailing hopelessly.īut a warily humourless palace official might feel more Victorian, and be unamused. No such reticence protects Charles and Camilla.
Though former monarchs haunt the palace (this time William IV, played by Peter Davison), it's unlikely Her Majesty will appear as a ghost - there's a limit to how much irreverence even Ch4 will dare.
The Windsors has been running since 2016 but the Queen herself was never portrayed. Give us a full-fat monarchy or don't bother.īut the fact that none of them is safe from satire sends another message. If the show had a point, beyond giving us all an affectionate laugh at the 'Coronarshun', it was that ordinary Brits don't want penny-pinching with the pomp and circumstance, nor a trimmed-down royal family with big gaps on the balcony. and in the next scene was wearing a fur coat trimmed with some suspiciously waggy tails.Īnd when PM Rishi Sunak (Happy Valley's Amit Shah) refused to cave in to Charles's demands, the King snarled, 'You are worse than Nicholas Witchell.' She was searching for the late Queen's corgis. In a wonderful sight gag, Camilla (Haydn Gwynne) smeared ink over half her blonde barnet by accident, transforming into Cruella de Vil. At Balmoral when they were boys, Harry whined, 'he had a Star Wars duvet and I had Paddington, which is really babyish.' We got to the root of that sibling rivalry. 'It's so important to get your narrative out there,' Meghan explained, through a rictus smile. Harry and Meghan (Richard Goulding and Kathryn Drysdale) flew to Britain to deliver a plea for a brotherly truce - then delivered it again, so their hidden Netflix cameras could get the close-ups they needed. Every royal was fair game, including those who have stepped back to pursue privacy in publicity-free California.
