  • The Palace is een Britse dramatische televisieserie die werd uitgezonden op ITV1 in het voorjaar van 2008. De serie, geschreven door Tom Grieves, volgt het leven van een fictieve Britse Koninklijke familie na het overlijden van de koning, King James III en de troonopvolging door zijn 24 jaar oude zoon, Richard. Tevens worden de intriges tussen de leden van de administratie van het koningshuis belicht. Tom Grieves zelf gaf aan hier te willen voortborduren op het succes van The West Wing. De reeks werd gefilmd op locatie in Litouwen in 2007. Na teleurstellende kijkcijfers werd na de eerste reeks van acht afleveringen door ITV geen tweede reeks besteld. Zowel in het Verenigd Koninkrijk als in Australië waar de serie reeds werd uitgezonden werden door kijkers petities opgezet voor de creatie van een tweede reeks. De VRT televisiezender één programmeerde de reeks in het voorjaar van 2009. (nl)

  • Richard tells Abi that he loves her, but they're interrupted as they start to kiss. At her 18th birthday party, Princess Isabelle gives a speech damning the Monarchy and calling for a republic; filmed by a friend, the speech ends up on the Internet. Isabelle then disappears and after a few days the Palace questions her mental health. She responds by doing an interview with the News of the World. Soon after the Palace track her down and the family doctor diagnoses Acute Anxiety Syndrome . After being persuaded by Richard, Isabelle agrees to get treatment at a hospital. Meanwhile, Simon shows Princess Eleanor Abi's manuscript, and Eleanor tells Abi that she will show it to the King unless she tells her all of Richard’s secrets. (en)
  • The King's relationship with Miranda Hill continues despite Miranda's reluctance to do so. The relationship between Abigail and Simon begins to flourish, although Abigail has no idea that his motive lies in the fact that Princess Eleanor is determined to find out her brother's mystery lover. After some persuasion, the King forces Prince George to confess to the accident and visit the victim; after the hospital visit, it is evident that the brothers' bond is broken. On discovering the identity of the mystery lover, Abigail hints to King Richard that she knows, so he visits her in her flat and she assures him she will tell no-one, but as he leaves the building he's photographed by the press. (en)
  • To cause trouble, Princess Eleanor encourages her mother to wear a sentimental diamond necklace that was taken by the British in the days of the Raj. The Indian government now want it back; when Charlotte wears it during the Indian President's state visit, a diplomatic incident occurs. Richard wants to give it back, but worries about taking it away from his mother due to its sentimental value. Eventually, the Queen gives the necklace to the Indians herself. Meanwhile, she invites the Honourable Alice Templeton , Richard's childhood friend, to the Palace, hoping they will fall in love and marry, but he ends up kissing Abi while the two are talking. Also, the new head chef proves unpopular with the rest of the staff. (en)
  • Richard, Prince of Wales and Prince George are out clubbing when their father, King James III, dies suddenly while at the opera. Richard then succeeds to the throne as Richard IV, and within hours has met the Prime Minister Edward Shaw . Richard's older sister, Princess Eleanor, is immediately jealous of his new position as she believes she should be Queen, and she and her private secretary, Major Simon Brooks, start plotting to discredit Richard. Abi speaks to a publisher about doing a tell-all book. Meanwhile, footman Jimmy sees the King kissing a woman in the Throne Room, and The Sun threatens to break the story after James III's funeral. Before this happens, the King does a live television interview with Joanna Woodward , speaking candidly about his feelings of inadequacy and his love for his country. (en)
  • Abigail is now the centre of attention with her picture splashed all over the newspapers after cameras caught the King leaving her apartment. Sir Iain grows even more suspicious of her by asking himself why was the King there in the first place. However, Princess Eleanor's aide, Simon, figures the real identity of the King's lover, Miranda, and goes straight to inform the Princess who in turn informs the Sunday papers. The Prime Minister and Sir Iain rush to the King's assistance and come up with a cover story: They will tell the world that Abigail is the real lover and keep Miranda's identity a secret. However, the King rejects this plan and ends his relationship with Miranda. (en)
  • The King is having an affair with Miranda Hill , the Prime Minister's married press officer. Their relationship soon ends when her office leaks old drunken photos of him after the King argues with the Prime Minister over defense cuts. Richard enrages him by appearing to criticize the cuts and invites a recent war-widow to tea. Meanwhile, Prince George admits to the Palace's Chief Superintendent Peter Bayfield that he hit a man while driving at night and did not stop to see if the man was all right. The Palace then tries to cover this up with only a handful of people knowing, but Princess Eleanor manages to find out from the security officer who was with Prince George at the time. Eleanor then tells Richard and encourages him to cover it up so she can leak it later to make them both look bad. (en)
  • After an intruder breaks into Princess Eleanor's bedroom, she and her office move from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace. Simon then moves into Abi's office and discovers that she is the palace servant writing a "tell all" book. While putting on a brave front, Eleanor secretly is deeply disturbed by the intruder, especially after he kills himself because she didn't return his love for her. Meanwhile, Abi offers her resignation to the King after their kiss; he refuses it and says they should continue as before. Alice tells Abi that she loves Richard and the public reaction to her friendship with the King is very positive. At the gay wedding of one of the Palace servants, Alice kisses Richard, who says he does not love her, and Alice believes that Richard and Abi love each other. (en)
