The Royals wouldn’t be watchable at all except for Queen Helena, played to the hilt by Elizabeth Hurley.
If anything, you'll wish The Royals were trashier. [13 Mar 2015, p.67]

SEASON 1
The Royals doesn’t pretend to be much more than good fun, and it delivers that.
The trash meter soars when [Elizabeth Hurley's] on-screen, then sags when she's off. And there's just too much sag here.
Camp requires courage, and The Royals has none.
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.
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.

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! 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!

SEASON 1
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. The royals was dramatic and funny and i would recommend it one hundred percent.

SEASON 1
In my opinion - a big and complete fail- the Queen is so annoying, the King is whipped, the princess - well you decide, and the heir to the throne is an idiot....Thought this would be interesting but the one dimensional characters are beyond even remotely being believalbe and an insult to all of us - regardless of whether we are royalty or not. I have never commented on a show - but this show is beyond annoying!!! I complain not because I watch the show anymore but because the trailers pop up and are often not avoidable - if I hear the term "Royal Beaver" one more time ---I may have to smash my TV. This show is beyond stupid...

SEASON 1
Worst show on television. I fell for the hype and watched 2 episodes. MY BAD. That's two hours I will never get back. Bad acting, unbelievable story lines and I don't believe what the characters are selling either. I have no idea how they think this is a good "fit" for television.
