Should never have been based on real people
The basic idea here could have worked, albeit with a lot of tweaking. Firstly, the monarchy should have been completely fictional. Secondly, it could have predominantly followed the servants as they went about their daily lives and routines. The silly monarchs could have been more background characters.
That this makes fun of real children is kind of gross. The children didn't ask to be born into royalty and this just feels like the creators were punching down at targets that couldn't defend themselves even if they wanted. If they were fictional children then that'd at least be something, but they didn't even want to do that. I can only imagine that this show came about as a reaction to the Royals freaking out about The Crown. This is one idea that should have stayed in the drawing stage until it was ready, if ever. On top of this taking swings at real children, it's not even that funny.
