Princes, kings and fairy tales, told as short drama
A royal romance gives a love story the highest stakes and the best costumes. There is a crown, a duty and usually a wedding somebody would rather avoid, and the fun is in watching the person with all the rules fall for the one person who keeps breaking them.
Start with Accidentally in Love with a Prince. Arabella tells a handsome stranger that the prince's portrait looks miserable, then discovers who she was talking to. It is a light British royal romcom with an arranged marriage, three deliberately terrible dates and a white unicorn called Orion. My Frog Prince is sillier still: she ordered a prince, and they delivered a frog.
If you like your royals darker, The Thorn King's Bride is gothic romantasy about a cursed king and a stolen bride, Burn for Me, Dragon King begins at a royal wedding with a dragon chained beneath the cathedral, The Monster Who Claimed Me is a Beauty and the Beast-style tale of a cursed lord, and The Last Kingdom of Light is an epic legend of a golden kingdom at war. Viewers must be 18 or over to use LOVBIRD.
