“THE ROYALS, a new drama that will undoubtedly fill the GOSSIP GIRL-sized hole in your heart.” – MTV.com “If you love a guilty pleasure, E!’s new TV show The Royals will be right up your street.” – Glamour UK To tweet this release: http://bmpr.ca/1zE6ho4 Join the Hubub: https://www.hubub.com/261867 TORONTO (February 3, 2015) – It’s anarchy in the monarchy in E!’s first-ever scripted series, THE ROYALS, premiering Sunday, March 15 at 10 p.m. ET. Following the lives of a fictional modern-day royal family in England, THE ROYALS stars Elizabeth Hurley (GOSSIP GIRL) as Queen Helena, along with an impressive ensemble cast that includes: Vincent Regan (300) as King Simon, William Moseley (Chronicles of Narnia) as Prince Liam, Alexandra Park (HOME AND AWAY) as Princess Eleanor, Whistler, B.C.’s Merritt Patterson (RAVENSWOOD) as Ophelia, and the legendary actress and author, Joan Collins, as the Grand Duchess of Oxford, Queen Helena’s mother. THE ROYALS immediately follows the Season 10 premiere of KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS at 9 p.m. ET (visit eonline.ca to confirm local listings). Set and shot in London, THE ROYALS pits public perception of the “original celebrity family” against the reality of life inside the castle walls, from the lavish parties, and high stakes political summits, to the private family gatherings, and secret romances. Being born into this elite circle comes at a cost as the royal family’s lives are played out on a world stage, where press is 24/7, and social media drives an insatiable appetite to follow their every move.
