The Windsors

Truly hysterical, well written and beautifully acted. The writers have simply exaggerated what we already suspect: Camilla is a scheming bitch; Charles is a Dumb, Aristocratic Hippy; Pippa is a crazed Social Climber; William is Nice, Well-meaning but ineffectual; Harry is thick as a brick but a lovely person who needs mothering; Beatrice and Eugenie are desperate for cash but bad at EVERYTHING: Sarah Ferguson is desperate to get back in favour; Andrew is after £££ and Totty; Edward is utterly useless and will clean windows for cash! I'm a fervent Monarchist, but we Brits have a sense of humour -- especially about OURSELVES. The programme is great fun and totally harmless. I bet the younger Royals think it's great and the older Royals will never see it. I'm just disappointed there are only 12 episodes!!!

12/30/17. What a hoot! I loved it. This is the perfect parody about the royal family, and royal watchers would definitely enjoy it. Great writing and decent cast and good acting make this a must-see. Can't wait for additional episodes!

The charming comedic performances of so many of the cast makes The Windsors great fun, particularly Hugh Skinner as Wills. He is ably supported by Louise Ford's Kate, Harry Enfield's Charles, Haydn Gwynn's manipulative and dangerous Camilla, Katy Wix as Fergie and Matthew Cottle as Edward.

The writers take the tabloid profile of the royals and twist it further. (Camilla is obsessed by continuing her own bloodline, Wills thinks republics are fairer than monarchies; Harry is a sex-obsessed illiterate fool; and Kate and Pippa are gypsies, with scheming Pippa willing to seduce anyone in order to get what she wants - often Harry.)

Not deep, not probing, but funny and different. Worth a try at least.

Harry Enfield's Charles is pure comic genius, one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV.

Every word, facial expression and reaction shot is comic perfection.

Every one of the actors is brilliant, though Enfield is a tour de force.

I'm not sure if non-Brits will get it, but this really is spot on!

This show is simply hilarious and in many ways quite well done. It never goes overboard and the jokes in some cases are not too stretched. The Royal Family is portrayed for what it is and the value it adds. The freeloading, excessive behavior and spending and absolute ignorance is funnily portrayed. While the Queen herself has led a dignified life those who surrounded her and came after her have lived anything but a dignified life.

It is great fun and a good laugh to poke fun at the Royal family but at the same time being somewhat factual and not overdoing it.
