If The Crown Fits… (ITV 1961, Robert Morley, Peter Bull)
Sitcom If The Crown Fits detailed episodes in the life of King Rupert, ruler of Mediterranean Grabnia.
His daughter, Princess Amelia (Tracey Reed) is something of a beatnik, who prefers to wear jeans and a sweater rather than a dress and a tiara. She goes to college and spends much of her spare time riding around on the back of her boyfriend’s scooter.
Rather surprisingly filmed on location in Spain.
