animated series from the creator of “Family Guy” that portrays Britain’s royal family as a collection of dysfunctional and egotistical tea drinkers who are raising their young children to be spoiled and brutish tyrants, has sparked outrage in the United Kingdom.

Critics say the harshest portrayal, however, is that of 8-year-old Prince George, the eldest child of Prince William and wife Kate.

The fact that Prince Harry and Bloom are reportedly friends also led some to criticize the actor’s decision to become involved with the series as the prince’s voice.

Speaking earlier this year, Prince Harry said that Bloom, who lives near his home in Los Angeles, has helped him deal with the issue of invasive paparazzi, warning him when photographers seeking images of his young children are nearby.

Britain’s newspapers also condemned the series, with the Daily Telegraph writing that creators were responsible for presenting young George as “spoiled, sneering and sharp-tongued,” while the Daily Mail posed the question: “Should children be ‘off limits’ in comedy?”.

It has been a tumultuous few years for Britain’s royals, which has faced ever-growing rumors of a rift between brothers Prince William and Harry and the loss of 99-year-old Prince Philip, husband to the queen in April
