The series, created by Gary Janetti, features an a-list cast with The Queen voiced by Frances de la Tour, Prince Philip voiced by Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens, Orlando Bloom as Prince Harry, and Sophie Turner as Princess Charlotte.
Paul told Closer that their depiction could be ‘extremely damaging’ especially to Prince George, who Paul says is ‘mocked’ throughout the show.

Prince Harry actually had a surprising response to the series and has been able to see the ‘funny side’ of the animation, as he himself, Meghan, and Archie are also portrayed in it.
