The Royal World reality for MTV

MTV has announced a new reality series The Royal World.

The six part series features nine 20-something aristocrats with lineage rooted in the United Kingdom, Russia, Austria, Nigeria, Ireland and a “royally connected” American.

The series will have inside access to the cast’s “lavish family homes and elite circles and will explore the lives of the pedigreed and privileged, including the ups and downs of life as twenty-somethings finding their way in the world.”

“MTV has a deep-rooted history of shining a light on original characters and unique subcultures. The Royal World brings this to a whole new level,” said Kerry Taylor, Executive Vice President Youth & Music and co-head of MTV International. “From shores around the globe to royal mansions, we celebrate great stories everywhere they are. I can’t wait for the world to meet our new ‘royal family.’”

“Meghan falling for Prince Harry, marrying into the Royal Family, and her blossoming friendship with the Queen has captivated the nation. Our intrigue and obsession with all things regal has well and truly been reignited. The Royal World’s veritable melting pot of global aristocrats will show what it really means to be young and royal,” addeed Craig Orr, Vice President Commissioning and Development, MTV International.

The cast will be announced at a later date and screen later this year.
