The 20 best royal dramas to watch on streaming: Our...


A positively deranged black comedy, behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing and a beautifully appointed British historical drama... there's so much for avid royal watchers to stream right now.

The star-studded cast also includes Damian Lewis as Henry VIII and Claire Foy as Anne Boleyn and the series looks, feels and sounds convincingly authentic throughout, with plain, natural dialogue and none of the romantic clichés that tend to bedevil any drama involving the Tudors. Elizabeth II has been played by Claire Foy, Olivia Colman and Imelda Staunton; Prince Philip by Matt Smith, Tobias Menzies and Jonathan Pryce; Princess Margaret by Vanessa Kirby, Helena Bonham Carter and Lesley Manville. Her youthful infatuation with PM Lord Melbourne (played by a dashing Rufus Sewell), her attachment to her German nanny Baroness Lehzen (Daniela Holtz) and her early courtship and marriage with Albert (Tom Hughes) are among the established facts given added colour, without losing sight of the historical record.
