But it's not really the worse, either. I was eager to see this movie when it dropped on Disney+, and watched it the first weekend it was available. As the title of the movie states, it's about the second born royal, which I've always wondered how they really feel about their role, and with their older sibling the one that will become King/Queen someday. And this address that int he beginning, but in what seems to be a really exaggerated way. But as the movie continues on, they find out what their real (or fictionally real) role in the monarchy really is, and train for that role.
The actors I feel did a pretty good job for the role they had, and if I was to rate them on their performance alone, I would go with a 6.5. But there is only so much they could do with the script they had to work off of. And I feel the selection of the actors for the royal family could have been better. No disrespect to the actors they did select, but they were a family, but they were far from looking like a family. Think of Tom Hanks and Will Ferrell playing brothers, and Sean Connery playing their father. Unless there is some backstory about one being a half sister or adopted, it was far from believable.
The story itself is where the real problem was. It was a very common story told with just minor changes to it. I feel the movie could have been improved using that same tried and true story if they had made more significant changes to the details to make it look more original.
The ending does leave it open for a sequel or a series, so if one of those happen, I would recommend watching the movie so you're caught up on the story. Otherwise, if a sequel or series never comes out, you won't be missing anything from skipping this one.
