‘The Windsors’ Comedy Co-Creator Talks King Charles Coronation Special, Riffing on ‘The Crown’
K.J. Yossman Think of a British TV series about the royal family that launched in 2016 and features some of Britain’s best writing and acting talent. No, not “The Crown” but “The Windsors,” the royal comedy show from Channel 4 that is poised to steal “The Crown’s” well, crown. A soap opera-style sitcom, it shows Charles, William, Harry and the rest of the royals as they’ve never been seen before. (Seriously. The first season finale saw Camilla, played by Haydn Gwynne, planting a bomb in the basement of Buckingham Palace to ensure her path to the throne.) Where “The Crown” offers a sober, historical take on the royals, winning both critical plaudits and awards in the process, “The Windsors” is a cheeky younger sibling that has spent its life in the shadows. A spare to the heir, if you will. Created by writers Bert Tyler-Moore and George Jeffrie (“The Kumars,” “Spitting Image”), “The Windsors” launched seven years ago with comedy king Harry Enfield in the lead as a vain and infantilized Charles while Gwynne (who has also appeared in “The Crown” as a lady in waiting to the Queen) plays Camilla as a cartoon villain. So far the comedy has spawned three seasons, three specials (including a feature-length coronation episode set for next month) and even a stage show. A fourth season is in the works.
