Netflix's New Rom-Com Show Is For 'Nobody Wants This' & 'Bridgerton' Lovers

Q: What is The Royals on Netflix about?

The Royals is the ultimate opposites attract story. The show sees CEO Sophia Kanmani Shekhar cross paths with Aviraaj Singh when his royal manor is in desperate need of a renovation and she needs to grow her business. Now, it's up to this duo to get the job done — if they can come to terms with their class division, life experiences, and major chemistry. With the unexpected nature of their romance and their completely different backgrounds, it's honestly reminding me of Nobody Wants This ! With the opulence and beauty of Bridgerton , of course.
