THE STORY

About The Royals

When the British heir dies suddenly, a modern royal family spirals into chaos. Party-loving twins Prince Liam and Princess Eleanor are forced to grow up fast—Liam is thrust toward the crown while falling for Ophelia, the palace security chief’s American daughter, and Eleanor hits rock bottom after a dangerous betrayal. As King Simon grieves and the monarchy teeters, ruthless Queen Helena joins forces with scheming Prince Cyrus to keep control at any cost. A dynasty built on glamour is about to face its darkest reckoning. Buy full season: https://www.lionsgate.com/shows/the-royals/the-royals-season-1
