‘The Prince’ is a new @hbomax series about the royals and it really doesn’t hold back.

From Kate Middleton as an alcoholic to Camilla as a mute, the show has received backlash from critics and royal correspondents alike.

The show follows Prince George on quests like getting Kelly Ripa to follow him on Instagram and becoming a star on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills".

George tortures his butler, can't stand his younger sister, and constantly sucks up to the Queen.

The choice to make George, a real royal child, the main character has sparked the majority of the criticism towards the show.

A fan account for the Cambridge family tweeted about their disagreement with the show.

Prince Harry and Megan Markle are portrayed moving into a small LA flat and are seemingly unemployable. Harry is also in awe at the workings of a refrigerator.

Orlando Bloom plays Harry and has since become neighbours and friends with the prince.

Despite the release of the show being delayed after the death of Prince Philip, he still features as a babbling old man who can't speak or even chew his food.

"Get the defibrillator paddles ready," George quips in the first episode.

Kate and William don’t get off lightly either. Kate comes across as an alcoholic in the show, often seen guzzling a glass of wine — or five.

Sophie Turner, who has previously asked for privacy for her own child, voices Princess Charlotte in the series.

Fans didn’t shy away from calling Turner a hypocrite for taking the role which is parodying the young royal.
