Ultimately, any good Real Housewives franchise is compelling in all the same ways as a really juicy palace history.
It’s fairly common to compare the Windsors to a soap opera or a reality show, a way of playing up their problems and rhetorically dragging them down a few notches. But the flip side is true: Both are dominated by larger-than-life personalities acting outrageously and scheming relentlessly—for commercial success, for greater fame, for the advancement of their own narrative, for revenge against their wrongdoers and enemies.
One big challenge with casting the ultimate royal supergroup from the thousand-year history of the British crown is that most of these people wouldn’t know each other personally, and a long history tends to foster the sort of feud that propels a really great Real Housewives season. As Andy Cohen himself: “the problem was there was not a rooting interest of, ‘You offended me by doing this or that,’ because they had just met,” he said.
Princess Diana would be the obvious choice from the modern royal line-up, but ultimately, she was too subtle for this franchise. Princess Margaret, on the other hand, didn’t have a subtle bone in her body, god rest her soul. She basically spent her whole life chain-smoking and making well-timed bitchy remarks. I think she has real potential as a meaner Sonja Morgan.
Anne is one of the most famous figures in the history of the crown, and preexisting stardom is a mark in favor of a potential housewife. She’s beautiful and glamorous and alluring and would wear an absolutely incredible series ofto the reunion episodes.
