Press
To Sandringham, for shooting! In the world of The Windsors, that means visiting Princess Anne (Vicki Pepperdine), whose shtick - a scurrying housekeeper - is among the show's funniest. Its other standout performer is Harry Enfield as Prince Charles, and this week the writers find a way to double his screen time. In the adequate subplots, Harry accidentally agrees to a duel, and Beatrice and Eugenie give a motivational talk to Port Talbot steelworkers.
Jack Seale, The Guardian, 19th July 2017The Windsors, series 2 episode 3 review
A breezy cross between a revenge tragedy, a Carry On film and an episode of Dynasty.
