The HBO Max animated series “The Prince” angered some viewers because it satirized William, Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales’ young children. In the eyes of many, the underage kids of celebs should be considered off-limits when it comes to off-color comedy, and as noted by The Washington Post, the series was canceled after one season.
The HBO Max animated series “The Prince” angered some viewers because it satirized William, Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales’ young children. In the eyes of many, the underage kids of celebs should be considered off-limits when it comes to off-color comedy, and as noted by The Washington Post, “The Prince” portrayed Prince William and Kate Middleton’s oldest child, Prince George, as bratty, entitled — and more than happy to dish the dirt on his dysfunctional family.
Katy Perry’s fiancé, Orlando Bloom, joined the show’s voice cast as the royal whom Perry once begged to call her during an appearance on “The Graham Norton Show.” And according to Bloom, it was Perry who pushed him to voice the fictionalized version of Prince Harry. “Katy was like, ‘You’ve got to do this. This is genius,'” Bloom told The Hollywood Reporter in 2020. He said that he also found the show’s material amusing enough that a desire to be a part of the project won out over his British pride.
When Bloom signed on for the series, Harry was a stranger to him. “I subsequently met him and he’s such a nice guy and he’s got a great sense of humor,” the actor stated. “I hope he maintains his sense of humor through this.” At least the amount of jokes that Bloom’s new royal acquaintance might find offensive was limited, as the show was canceled after one season.
