First, there was a hilarious “deepfake” video of Queen Elizabeth II’s Christmas speech. Now, an animated parody of the annual message has emerged, with a cartoon Prince George joining His Majesty in an alternate version created by Family Guy producer Gary Janetti.
The clip, taken from the next HBO Max animation series The prince and posted on Instagram by Janetti, sees the “Queen” (voiced by actress Frances de la Tour) taking a look at last year’s annus horribilus. The cartoon Queen talks about the pandemic and forest fires, but is overshadowed when Prince George, seven, talks about the cancellation of Coachella, the postponed James Bond film and the departure of Denise Richards The real Beverly Hills housewives.
The clip ends on a rather vulgar note, as the Queen says the year “was fucking shit”, adding “At least we got the vaccine”, to which Prince George replies: “Most of them don’t,” to the public of commoners. The prince then drops the microphone with “Merry Christmas, bitch, George and GanGan out.”
The next HBO Max series The prince you will see Prince George and his brothers comment on all things real. War of Thrones star Sophie Turner will play Princess Charlotte, with Orlando Bloom as Prince Harry, Condola Rashad as Meghan Markle, Lucy Punch as Kate Middleton and Iwan Rheon as Prince William. Janetti is the voice of Prince George. The series is scheduled for sometime in 2021.
