The Royals aired from 2015-2018 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Hurley said she's not sure if the Royals would work today. “I don't want to see old Queen Helena Henstridge,” she told a journalist (Hurley turned 60 in June). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.

Still hoping for a Royals movie?

In a recent interview, Joan Collins (who played Grand Duchess Alexandra of Oxford) said she can't imagine a Royals reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”

Co-star William Moseley has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Royals movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”

On the subject of whether there could be a Royals film, Alexandra Park stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
