Shows On Royalty

Bridgerton

This is Shondaland's debut scripted production for Netflix, and it was made by Chris Van Dusen. It centres on the title Bridgerton family and is set during the social season, when marriageable youth of nobility and gentry are thrust into society, amid the competitive world of Regency-era London's tonne.

Harlots

The show centres on Margaret Wells (Samantha Morton), a mother of two girls and owner of a brothel who moves her business to an upscale part of London in an effort to draw in more affluent customers. This puts her in direct conflict with Lydia Quigley, a rival madam who manages an exclusive brothel that caters largely to the wealthy (Lesley Manville). Harlots is fascinating for the way it normalises sex labour, but there is also plenty of scandals, rivalry, and romance. Harlots is available to watch online on Amazon Prime.

Sanditon

The Regency-era drama, which is based on Jane Austen's final unfinished book, follows Charlotte (Rose Williams) as she relocates to Sanditon, a little seaside village, and meets Sidney (Theo James), with whom she has an initial argument in classic Austenian style. Royalty show lovers will adore so many aspects of this programme, including the dramatic turns, the steamy romance, and James' endearing yet gloomy portrayal of Sidney.

The story of Catherine of Aragon and her rise to power in England is the centre of the show. It is based on  Philippa Gregory's historical fiction novels "The Constant Princess" and "The King's Curse".
