The Royals

In the wake of the death of King Simon's murderer, the royal family returns with a fresh perspective. Liam seeks solace in disreputable places, while Prince Robert is revealed to be alive, but is he well?

Queen Helena, along with her new Lord Chamberlain, devises a plan to secure proof of Prince Liam and Princess Eleanor's paternity. Liam begins a new but complicated relationship, while Jasper and Eleanor look to the past to inspire their future together.

While under the weather, Helena gets hooked on a reality television program. The true paternity of Liam and Eleanor is revealed at a time when the prince and princess are each focusing on passionate relationships.

Jasper and Eleanor immerse themselves in their relationship while Liam is forced to reappraise his latest tryst. Enduring his cancer, King Cyrus is visited by his past, while the palace arranges a press conference to announce earth shattering news.

On the eve of a very public appearance, the family's private turmoil threatens to go public. Beck returns to the palace with his sights set on Eleanor, and a confrontation with Jasper ensues.

Christmas comes to the palace - or does it? Wanting to honor his father, Liam impulsively releases the staff, forcing the family to fend for themselves during the holiday. Things quickly grow tense and acrimonious, fueled by alcohol and jealousy. A sexual dalliance for Helena has unexpected consequences, while Jasper's past threatens to undo his present.

The royals prepare for the People's Gala - an annual charity weekend. Each member of the family is auctioned off for charity, resulting in surprising pairings, for better and worse. Cyrus initiates a plan to retain his crown, while Liam and Robert square off in a charity boxing match that grows increasingly intense and personal.

Jasper tries to strike a bargain to protect his past and secure his future with Eleanor, while Helena slips away for a romantic trip to Paris, much to the chagrin of her staff and family. Eleanor participates in a nearly naked tiger run in support of tiger welfare, a baby fox runs amok in the palace, and Liam and Willow try to navigate emotional waters.

Eleanor and Queen Helena consider romantic invitations as a Privy Council meets to determine who will reign as the one true King Of England. At great risk and consequences, Jasper reveals to Liam information that presents a new mystery for the monarchy.

Liam finds himself in unexpected places while looking to validate or dismiss the latest palace scandal. Helena is heartbroken over a recent loss, while Jasper makes a final play for Eleanor's heart. The family occupies a global stage as historic changes assure that nothing will ever be the same behind the palace gates.
