GLITZY CHARACTER PHOTOS FROM E!'S FIRST SCRIPTED TV SERIES 'THE ROYALS'
Now I know that Christmas is over (although the Orthodox one is this Wednesday), but I have the queen's festive address to the nation to show you in the trailer below: it is juicier and spicier than you'd expect, but that is only because we're talking about queen Helena (Elizabeth Hurley) from E!'s first scripted TV series THE ROYALS which will open the doors of its fictional court this March 15th ! I also have the first character photos from the series to show you featuring, beside the queen, the king, the prince, the princess and their entourage. It is a drama about a fictional British Royal family set in modern day London, who inhabit a world of opulence and regal tradition that caters to any and every desire, but one that also comes with a price tag of duty, destiny and intense public scrutiny.
AS IF RULING MONA- RCHY WASN'T ENOUGH As mentioned above British star Elizabeth Hurley (can you believe she is 49?!?) plays the gorgeous and glamorous queen Helena, whose family life isn't as glitzy as her royal subjects might think: her oldest son hasjust died in an accident leaving the function of the heir to the throne to his horny younger brother Prince Liam (William Moseley) who might not fit into the role as perfectly as his mother would want to since he is wrecking the queen's nerves by dating an American girl Ophelia(Merritt Patterson). As if that wasn't enough, Liam’s ex Gemma (Sophie Colquhoun) is also still in the picture. To make things worse her daughter princess Eleanor (Alexandra Park) prefers wild partying and enjoying drugs and booze better than her royal duties and also lovesto flirt with their head of security Jasper (Tom Austen). Meanwhile, the queen's marriage to king Simon (Vincent Regan) is also slowlyfailing! And her mother, the Grand Duchess of Oxford (Joan Collins), isn't helping much since her involvement in the Queen's life could lead to trouble, as she always pursues an agenda of her own.
