The first three episodes are more like some mock dives before the original dive into the main story line. The base of the story line seems to be quite weak and there are many reasons behind. After the death of Prince Robert, the family seemed to be shattered but somehow recovered really fast to attend all the tea parties to mourn for the Prince. A Princess, a British royal, always finding a way to get high and drunk and showing her private part in public and embarrass the whole family, never felt like can happen in any royal family. A common security guard getting involved with the Princess and has the audacity to blackmail her to sleep with her seems impossible even in the wildest of dreams. The affection going on between a commoner and the young Prince didn't looked that arguable though. The most downside was the fight between the Queen and the Princess about holding a fashion show. No one in this world would ever think a Queen to rule the fashion world and to involve in a fight for the place to hold the fashion show with her daughter. The King (Vincent Regan) seemed to be more realistic about the death of the Prince though it seemed a bit odd that he was so easy going with all the workers around the palace. The lust of the King's younger brother for the throne was quite obvious, as we all see this common feature in all royal families. The makers tried to too much modernize the whole story. Elizabeth Harley was as sensual as always. Alexandra Park did quite a good job to give life to the Princess's character. She could have given a little bit more when it came to the scenes where she needed to be high, it seemed a clinch of over trying. Lets hope the story has something more interesting in the nest few episodes.
