The Prince

I'm disappointed that this show got cancelled, as it was starting to get interested by the end of season 1.

Too many people clutch their pearls and say that there can't be a parody of the royal family. Satire should not be just be what will offend the least number of people, but it should also make a point (which this show does despite what the one star reviewers are saying). It pokes fun at the ridiculousness of Britain having an rich out of touch family that isn't special in any way except that their ancestors were also considered "royal". It was funny how they portrayed the royal family having no idea about the value of money in scenes with Harry and Meghan.

Overall, too many people got offended and this show got cancelled, but it had potential to be more.

Great satire! Surprised by some the harsh reviews.

It's a cartoon. If you need context follow Gary Janetti on Instagram.

I'm not a big reviewer but I decided to leave a review for this as I felt I had a more unique perspective than others. I'll start off by saying two important things: I am a fan of adult animation to begin with and regularly watch American Dad, South Park, Family Guy, etc; I regularly follow the Royal Family in the tabloids. As a result of the latter statement, I'm actually rather unbothered by the whole idea that this is "bullying" which many of the other reviews claim. Firstly, South Park and Family Guy are far more brutal in their satire. Secondly, it is extremely obvious - at least to me - that it is satire and is far from truth. It's pretty clear that Kate and William are in a happy marriage, and that they put in a lot of effort giving their children normal lives. It's worth noting they don't live in the palace. It's also abundantly clear that Harry and Megan aren't following the journey their characters follow. As a result, I'm really not bothered that the show is "bullying" when it's clear that it's all untrue, and knowing that the Royal Family are parodied constantly as is. All that said, do I think the show would have been more successful if they chose fictional characters who happened to be similar to the real life royal family? Absolutely. However, I don't think the show is awful. Owen & George's storyline is endearing and the story of the Flummery Tart is quite entertaining. I also love the gay representation of the head butler. It could be funnier but for a first season, I found it entertaining enough. I finished the whole season and I'd be willing to watch a second - so long as they continue the entertaining storylines and stay away from being too "real" with their satire.

Does everyone know this is satire? Since when can't the monarchy take a joke? Seems like a lot of people failed to read the disclaimer at the beginning of each episode. This show is brilliant. There are some truly endearing and beautiful moments and it is hilarious!
