Episode 1

The satirical comedy soap opera about the royal family returns. Prince Charles (Harry Enfield) refuses to help secure a trade deal with the Chinese. But when Camilla (Haydn Gwynne) withholds his conjugal rights, Charles agrees to host a banquet. Pippa (Morgana Robinson) is preparing to marry Johnny: ‘He’s got billions, not millions’. When Harry (Richard Goulding) introduces girlfriend Meghan Markle (Kathryn Drysdale) to the family, Meghan mistakes Camilla for the Queen: ‘You don’t look anything like ninety.’ Will Harry have to abdicate, like Great Uncle Edward on The Crown? Beatrice (Ellie White) and Eugenie (Celeste Dring) cater the banquet in the hope Aunty Anne (Vicki Pepperdine) will let them back on the sovereign grant.

Episode 2

The outrageous satirical comedy soap opera about Britain’s most famous family continues. Re-living his clubbing heyday, Harry (Richard Goulding) buys a nightclub and asks Kate (Louise Ford) to be the DJ. Charles (Harry Enfield) introduces lizards into his garden as pest control; but the lizards get out of hand, as do the mongoose brought in to prey on them. Could wolves be the answer? Camilla (Haydn Gwynne) offers her kidney to a sick child; but when the girl survives an ‘accident’, Camilla realises she actually has to go through with it… Wills (Hugh Skinner) needs to complete his helicopter training; but he’ll have to improve his banter if he’s going to fit in and beat his hard-nut CO Baxter (Donovan Blackwood) in the boxing ring to qualify. At Harry’s club, Edward (Matthew Cottle) hands out sweets in the loo while Beatrice (Ellie White) and Eugenie (Celeste Dring) work the door. Will they turn away their own mum, Fergie (Katy Wix)? Harry hasn’t been charging for drinks and the club is in trouble. Pippa (Morgana Robinson) steps in with a loan from her fiancée. But is there a catch? Kate collapses - no one can be a full-time royal and nightclub DJ. Can Wills save her without destroying his helicopter career?
