The world of European monarchies has often inspired cinema and TV series, but Su Majestad takes a decidedly humorous and irreverent tone. Created by Borja Cobeaga and Diego San José, this Spanish series imagines a deliriously fictional scenario: a young princess, Pilar (played by Anna Castillo), suddenly finds herself propelled to the throne after a scandal involving her father, King Alfonso XIV(Ernesto Alterio).
Problem? Pilar has neither the experience nor the will to govern. Considered lazy, insolent and irresponsible, she must now convince Spain that she can play her part... while proving to herself that she is capable of being something other than a dilettante princess.
With its biting humor and satirical take on royal dynasties, Su Majestad could be reminiscent of series like The Windsors, which mischievously hijack the codes of power.
Su Majestad will be broadcast on Prime Video from February 27, 2025.
Synopsis: Spain, year 2024. Pilar is a young princess and future queen of Spain who suddenly finds herself forced to lead the institution after a scandal involving her father, King Alfonso XIV, removes him from the public eye. Pilar must prove to the country that she is not the irresponsible, insolent, lazy, useless woman everyone imagines her to be. The fact is, they may be right.
With its sharp dialogue and critical look at contemporary monarchies, Su Majestad could appeal to fans of political comedies and satires on power. Far removed from serious historical series such as The Crown, this Spanish production seems more in the tradition of gritty comedies in which the elites find themselves overwhelmed by events.
The humor is enhanced by the comedic talent of Anna Castillo, seen notably in A Perfect Tale and The Olive Tree. Opposite her, Ernesto Alterio and Lucía Díez complete the cast, promising sharp dialogue and absurd situations.
While Su Majestad has fun parodying royal dynasties, the series could also offer a more subtle reflection on the evolution of royal families in Europe. The figure of the incapable but endearing princess is reminiscent of modern anti-heroes, where power becomes more of a burden than a privilege.
Part absurdist, part satire, part political comedy, the series could appeal as much to fans of wry humor as it does to those who enjoy tales of power figures confronted with responsibilities they had never considered.
With its irreverent tone and quirky heroine, Su Majestad promises to be a spicy royal comedy, blending politics with biting humor. An ideal series for those who love parodies of power and flawed but endearing characters.
