When we picture a princess, we often envision someone poised, graceful, and always on their best behavior. However, Princess Georgiana was quite the exception to these expectations! Queen of Oz revolves around Georgiana, who possesses a rather destructive personality. She had a penchant for indulging in excessive drinking, which often led to some truly comical and unexpected situations. From teeny-tiny mishaps to grand-scale follies, her adventures with alcohol provided endless entertainment.
Princess Georgiana’s antics were so notorious that they became the talk of the country, leaving the royal family in a state of constant bewilderment. To protect the kingdom’s reputation and shield Georgiana from the relentless media frenzy, an unconventional decision was made. She has been whisked away from her beloved London and sent to the distant land of Australia. But here’s the twist: rather than being a mere princess, she was bestowed with the unexpected title of the Queen of Australia!

The BBC has debuted the trailer for the Catherine Tate-led comedy series ‘Queen of Oz.’
Princess Georgiana (Georgie) is the spare to the British throne but her party-girl lifestyle and constant public scandals threaten the monarchy’s future.
To get her as far away from London as possible, and at the same time, hoping to prevent Australia from leaving the Commonwealth, Georgie’s parents send her off to Australia to become their Queen, along with her new staff – Director of Communications Zoe, Private Secretary Bernard, Head of Security Officer Marc, Personal Assistant Matthew, Lady In Waiting Anabel, Master of the Household Weiwei.
A welcome reception is Georgie’s first public appearance in Australia – where an offensive faux pas from the jetlagged new Queen makes the night go from bad to worse.

Since she first appeared in "E.T." when she was just 7 years old, Drew Barrymore has been a beloved fixture in the entertainment industry. Films like "Never Been Kissed" and "Charlie's Angels" solidified her star power, and she's started a new chapter as the host of "The Drew Barrymore Show," which kicked off in September 2020.
Over the years, Drew's candid, vulnerable conversation style has helped her interviews stand out on her talk show. She's been able to connect with people like Brooke Shields about the sexualization they both faced as child stars, and in particular, Drew's openness about the struggles she faced with her parents during her youth has allowed her to bond with stars with similar backgrounds, like Jennette McCurdy.
Drew was raised by actors John Drew Barrymore and Ildiko Jaid Mako Barrymore, but she's been clear about how absent and unreliable they were during her childhood. She became emancipated...

Masterpiece has released images from the upcoming season of its Jane Austen adaptation Sanditon.
Season 3 of the series will premiere in 2023 on PBS, and brings viewers back to the seaside resort town of Sanditon to follow the romances, friendships, and struggles of Charlotte, Georgiana and the Parker family.
