    I thought this program really hooked you from the start. I understand how the annoying twins were a bit stereotypical and how the style of comedy and drama embedded in this program wasn't to everyone's liking but honestly the whole program, even with some of the slightly unrealistic and shocking relationships between the characters, really hooked me from the start.

    This is the type of show that you either Love or Hate. I surprisingly love this show! Yes, its somewhat predictable but whats enjoyable about this show is Eleanor, hands down! Even though her character is such a cliche, Alexandra manages to breathe life into this character and make u anticipate what crazy thing she'll do or say next! Queen Helena and Gemma also make this show watchable!This is the type of show that you either Love or Hate. I surprisingly love this show!

YES, every character is unbelievable along with the storylines but the above mentioned women along with the evil Prince Cyrus and his shenanigans are worth watching. Btw, Eleanor truly could pass as Queen Helenas daughter!… Expand

    Fun, Fun, Fun just enjoy how simply enjoyable it is to think of any family acting like this. I cannot get enough., I missed 4 episodes when It started so I am trying to get to watch them. I LOVE the bodyguard and princess, so raunchy!!!!

    Making a criticism of the English monarchy is for the few and do this on the sensational form they got it.
    For us, mere mortals as times are difficult to understand and what goes on in the head of royalty the series shows that problems occur in any kind of family.
    Congratulations.

    While The Royals swings wildly from satire to sentimentality, from romance to raunch, and from camp to, well, crap, and only in the latter does it find its footing.

    Camp requires courage, and The Royals has none.

    With The Royals, E! has a juicy soap opera that’s addictive, naughty and just the right amount of silly.
