Negative reactions to HBO series Prince George: ‘Disrespectful’ and ‘Horrible’ | TV

entertainment">The Prince tells with a wink about royal life from the point of view of Prince George (8). British media say he is portrayed as ‘brutal and spoiled’. Reactions to the trailer range from “inappropriate” and “disrespectful” to “terrible” and “horrible.” “Leave children alone,” it sounds.

entertainment">Also royalty journalist Omid Scobie, author of the much-discussed book Finding Freedom about Prince Harry and Meghan, shares that view. “The royals have been parodied in dozens of shows over the years (Spitting Image, The Windsors, Saturday Night Live etc.) But this is the first time I can remember kids being targeted. It may be ‘comedy’, but it seems rather creepy and transgressive to me.”

entertainment">The series will premiere on streaming service HBO Max on Thursday. The series was written and conceived by Family Guyproducer Gary Janetti. Also makers of Bob’s Burgers are involved.

entertainment">Janetti himself speaks the voice of Prince George. Other voices come from Orlando Bloom (Prince Harry), Sophie Turner (Princess Charlotte), Tom Hollander (Prince Philip and Prince Charles) and Alan Cumming (as butler Owen).
