Set in modern-day England, "The Royals" follows the lives of a fictional British royal family that inhabits a world of opulence and regal tradition catering to any and every desire; a world that also comes with a price tag of duty, destiny, and intense public scrutiny. Prince Liam (William Moseley) is thrust into the spotlight after his older brother's death puts him next in line to the throne. When King Simon (Vincent Regan) announces that he is considering abolishing the monarchy, the manipulative Queen Helena (Elizabeth Hurley) will do whatever it takes to remain in power.
