Ep. 1: Los Angeles (2014-06-21)

A very unconventional royal tour of America commences in Los Angeles. Distant heirs to the throne, siblings Georgie and Poppy Carlton are the latest Brits on the scene. After a bicycle ride around Beverly Hills and a consultation with a plastic surgeon, they meet with some Hollywood movers and shakers in an attempt to launch Poppy’s acting career.
Ep. 2: Boston (2014-06-21)

Continuing their stateside tour, British royalty Georgie and Poppy Carlton travel to Boston to discover a bit of American history. They learn about the British humiliation in the Revolutionary War, come away parched from a Tea Party meeting, ‘trash talk’ with a local baseball team and attempt to rewrite history during a battle re-enactment.
Ep. 3: Texas (2014-06-28)

Britain’s most regal aristocrats – Georgie and Poppy Carlton – embrace the Texan way of life. When they’re not saddling up on a ranch or embracing the culture, they’re hitting the studio to record their own Tejano music and bidding at an auction for cattle semen. There’s also a chance to be thrown in the air by a team of cheerleaders and to get under the skin of the local taxidermist.
Ep. 4: New York (2014-07-05)

True Brits Georgie and Poppy have arrived in a very chilled New York. A local hipster in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood introduces them to the art of proper coffee making, they are relieved to discover that a ‘selfie’ isn’t what they feared it was, and Poppy makes an unforgettable appearance at New York Fashion Week.
Ep. 5: Detroit (2014-07-12)

Intrepid British aristocrats Georgie and Poppy Carlton receive a real culture shock when they visit Detroit.
