About The Palace
Meet the most famous family on earth.
After the sudden and unexpected death of his father, Richard has become King at the tender age of 24. Dearly loved by the nation, King James III left behind his devoted wife, Her Majesty Queen Charlotte and three other children: Princess Eleanor, Prince George and Princess Isabelle.
King Richard IV now reigns over us. He is a young, free-spirited individual with modern ideas about how the Monarchy should exist in the 21st century. Unready for office, he desperately wants to succeed. But the press can’t get enough of his youthful indiscretions and his family are at war. The knives have been sharpened and they’re waiting for blood…
Enter the world of The Palace
See how it all works when the cameras are not switched on. See the jostling for power, the in-fighting, the jealousies, back-stabbing, lying and cheating as Richard struggles to find a role for a dynasty that has reigned over us for a thousand years. Brought up in the most refined, antiquated, extraordinary world imaginable, meet also those who serve and scheme.
Meet the private secretaries, the press officers, personal protection officers, the Page of the Presence, the footmen, butlers, chefs and chambermaids . See the cleaners hoover backwards along the carpet to hide their footprints, the jostling for favour, and the comic pranks of the world below stairs.
The Palace places an entirely fictional royal family and their staff within Buckingham Palace and lets a little light, intrigue and wit into a world we love so much yet know so little about.
