An introduction to Almost Royal

Just a hop, skip and a jump away from the throne, siblings Georgie (Ed Gamble) and Poppy Carlton (Amy Hoggart) were born into a life of privilege, splendour and royalty…almost. Gracing E4 with their presence, Almost Royal follows the two young British aristocrats as they venture outside the palace and across the pond on their first trip to the U.S., where they interact with real-life, unsuspecting everyday Americans. Crowns and cricket are traded for tobacco and baseball, Buckingham is swapped for Beverly Hills and instead of tea with the Duke and Duchess, it’s a protein pump with Fabio and a ride along a Texan range. Georgie and Poppy are about to have their silver spoons plucked from their mouths and their thrones pulled right out from under them.

Almost Royal is the first original comedy commission from BBC Worldwide to be sold to a UK broadcaster. BBC Worldwide is the commercial arm of the BBC.

Almost Royal is due to TX on E4 this August.
