THE WRITERS of controversial comedy The Windsors have got a treasure trove of material to work with following the Royals’ recent dramas.

And, boy, are they mining it for the third series — as they get stuck into the feud between Prince William and Harry.

I’m told that the Channel 4 show — last seen as a one-off Royal Wedding special in 2018 — will focus on their rift when it airs later this year.

It will see William, played by Hugh Skinner, and Harry (Richard Goulding) fall out over their wives, but reconcile while attempting to get their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

And their partners are at it, too. According to plans for the very funny series, Meghan (Kathryn Drysdale) finds Kate “stiff and up herself” and wonders if she has been replaced by a robot.

But the writers don’t stop there.

Camilla ends up leaving Charles, played by the brilliant Harry Enfield, and shacks up with the female manager of the Highgrove gift shop, after bonding over a jar of expensive honey.

With his new-found freedom, Charles decides he is fed up of waiting for the top job and quits England to become “King of America”.

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie also take a battering from writers. The “working girls” are seen to be making it in the real world – getting up at 11.30am every day, not just Monday to Friday.

It would be funnier if it wasn’t so accurate.

Keeley's role is an honour

KEELEY Hawes is set to star as a detective in a drama about the shocking murder of Banaz Mahmod, killed by her own family.

DCI Caroline Good brought five family members to justice in 2006 after the young Londoner was killed for falling in love with the wrong man.

Honour, a two-part drama, is being penned by Vanity Fair writer Gwyneth Hughes and produced by Keeley’s company Buddy Club.

Keeley, who begins filming in September, said: “It is a privilege to be working on Honour.

“In a time where honour killings are still rife, it is critical to shine a light on such an important subject. Banaz Mahmod’s story is one that needs to be told.”
