The reason for Camillas bump this week is hilarious.

I'm loving this. And it's so OTT it's not really offensive to the royal family either.

I think Fergie is brilliant, also Beatrice, Eugenie and Camilla.

Watched the first week, but turned off after 10 minutes this week. There's clever funny, and there's stupid funny, and this is definitely the latter. Would be ok as short (5 mins max) sketches in a different type of comedy show, but nowhere near good enough for a whole show of its own. Can't imagine a second series.

I'm really enjoying this , it reminds me of 80s stuff like Spitting Image and Hot Metal , it's kinda cartoony but good fun .

.The three Degrees gag was great "the one in the middle "

TV needs stupid funny.

I'm really enjoying this, and I think The Royals probably are too, although it does rather hold up a mirror to Fergie & family. Hope they learn something from it.

Am I right to think that Liz and Phil don't get a look in?

I doubt they're going to change their ways after watching a sitcom...

Seems to be a conscious decision to leave them out of it. Maybe there will be an end of series surprise.

Caught this for the first time tonight, laughed out loud at 'You had me at Plus I'm a Prince'. Nicely silly, I must track down the previous episodes.

Loving this. Totally ridiculous and some of the jokes must offend the Royals. Particularly regarding Harrys parentage.

I absolutely love this. It's nice Friday night viewing for me with my glass of wine.

Beatrice and Eugenie are hilarious. Bet all the "Royals" aged under 30 are watching and rolling all over their sofas with side-splitting laughter

The one weak link is Kate - that's nothing against the actress but her character just isn't distinctive/funny enough, other than the rather dodgy "gypsy" gag...

Odd choice of Morgana to play Pippa. You'd have thought they'd get a more of a model type such as Thaila Zucchi.
Did the actress playing Kate also play the Australian Prime Ministers daughter?
That was Zucci.

I thought she was the type to be in this sort of show.

I love their characterisation as two lazy airhead sloanees.

"It says 9-5 on the contract. I assume it's a typo?"

It's great fun.

Loved Kate and the Archbishop of Canterbury in the caravan with him mentioning the 'ahem' black mamba!

Sloans Beatrice and Eugenie are so thick and entitled yet strangely lovable with it - and Charles and Camilla just spot on (Harry playing a blinder here).

George VI teaching Wills to be a b*****d was excellent as well - I really do wonder if any of the royals actually watch this?

I've seen it done twice before.

Anyway, there's nothing else on Friday at ten so I tend to watch this. It passes half an hour quite well although Thaila's Aussie accent was abysmal last week.

It's okay in a way, but the trouble is it's on ITV.
