Synopsis

Undercover Princes is a BBC Three reality TV show which took three royal claimants from foreign cultures and placed them in Brighton where they had to 'live and date' like normal people. The idea for the programme came from the 1988 Eddie Murphy movie Coming to America. The contestants were Remigius Jerry Kanagarajah, in exile from the kingdom of Jaffna; Africa Zulu, a Zulu chief from South Africa; and Manvendra Singh Gohil of Rajpipla in north west India. The three men lived in a house together and the primary focus is on their search for a 'princess' in the UK whilst at the same time getting used to having to do things for themselves. All three ultimately failed to find a lasting relationship. The series was narrated by Dawn Porter. A female counterpart, Undercover Princesses, was made.

Reviews

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
