Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have recently elected to leave the senior ranks of the Royal Family, as they depart the UK for North America. As the couple prizes themselves from the grips of the Firm, American network HBO has announced its decision to commission a new comedy show focussing on the family, complete with an all-star cast.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will debut in cartoon form alongside other members of the Royal Family in a forthcoming comedy show titled “The Prince”.
The project, commissioned by Game of Thrones and Watchmen network HBO for their upcoming streaming service HBO Max, is based on the Instagram account of Family Guy voice actor and writer Gary Janetti.
The show will focus on the lives of the royals through Prince William’s eldest child Prince George.
Mr Janetti will voice the young Prince, and a Hollywood cast is on board to impersonate the other royals.

According to HBO, Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings actor Orlando Bloom will play Prince Harry, and stage actress Condola Rashad is on hand to play Meghan Markle.
Tom Hollander also joins the cast, as the Bohemian Rhapsody actor will take on the roles of both Prince Charles and Prince Phillip.
Alan Cumming will play George’s Butler Owen, while Frances De La Tour and Iwan Rheon play Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William respectively.
In a statement, Gary Janetti said he was thrilled to bring HBO “yet another series about a family ruthlessly fighting for the throne”, referring to Game of Thrones.
The latest news comes as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle strive to build a new life independently of the Royal Family.
They announced they would step back as “senior royals” two weeks ago via Instagram, in a post which allegedly took the Royal Family by surprise.
The couple has since left for Canada after crisis talks, and it is unclear as to how they will proceed.
Earlier this week, Prince Harry insisted he was not "walking away" from his duties.
Speaking at an event for his charity Sentebale, which the Prince founded to continue Princess Diana’s work in Africa he said there was “no other option” but to part ways with the Royal Family.
He said: “It was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges.
“And I know I haven’t always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option.
“What I want to make clear is we’re not walking away, and we certainly aren’t walking away from you.”
