The prop Instrument of Abdication shown has been copy and pasted from that of King Edward VIII. This means the phrase about renouncing the throne also for his descendants has been left in, meaning William could not succeed Charles.

What the hell did I just watch?

Where did this fantasy "reality" drama come from? It takes real living people and turns them into farcical characters with evil or untoward motivations. Yet, like a train wreck, I couldn't look away. I guess it's interesting to watch but I'm not sure why. We all have our opinions on the royal family and what we think makes them tick. It just seems a bit irresponsible to commit those notions to film, which has the unfortunate effect of being interpreted as having a basis in fact.
