The Royals wouldn’t be watchable at all except for Queen Helena, played to the hilt by Elizabeth Hurley.

Elizabeth Hurley and Joan Collins seem to be having fun, and there is a thrill to be gleaned from a show so at ease with its daftness. [13 Nov 2015, p.57]

The Royals is pretty much the entertainingly trashy prime-time soap you’d expect.

The Royals is entertaining but disappointingly toothless.

It should be a hoot, but it actually gets old, and dull, very quickly.

The hourlong drama often plays like an extended MTV music video interspersed with dialogue.

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.
