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.
