Think you know everything about Queen Elizabeth II? Think again. The Netflix historical drama gives you a peek into the Queen’s private life. While some moments in the chic period piece are a bit too soapy and exaggerated, for the most part, they give an accurate depiction of her reign, romantic dalliances, political rivalries and the hardships she faced as a woman in power. Claire Foye embraces the role of the Queen while Matt Smith takes on her husband, Prince Phillip. Both seasons are currently available on Netflix.

If you've ever been to the Palace of Versailles, you probably know the story behind it. Currently, in its third season, the BBC series follows King Louis XIV life of France who bankrupted his nation and decided to move his royal court into the palace, formally his father’s hunting lodge. As with all pretty things, the nobles are drawn to it and seek admittance, but little do they know, it's actually a trap. Come for the elaborate sets, stay for the historically-fictional drama, romance and betrayal.

Sometimes, a juicy and over-the-top drama about Britain's finest is just what you need. Filled with murder, sex, and conspiracy, E!'s Royal family is all about scandal.

But a look behind those closed palace doors is royally satisfying. Long live Elizabeth Hurley as Queen Helena.

Doctor Who’s Jenna Coleman shines as she establishes herself as Queen Victoria in the PBS period drama that follows her ascension to the throne in the 1800s shortly after the death of her uncle, King William IV.

All the scandal and sex of the 16th century is delivered through the fictional Showtime drama. Young and lustful King Henry VIII played Jonathan Rhys Meyers grows desperate for an heir so he beds and weds known ladies like Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn. Naturally, there's a lot of sex and also, some stunning costumes! Superman’s Henry Cavil and Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer are some of the bigger names attached to the series. But be warned, it was criticized for its historical inaccuracies.

If you loved Kit Harrington in Game of Thrones, this is your chance to see much more of him since he stars in and produces the three-part BBC miniseries. The series is based on a bloody time in history where Catholics were being persecuted.

BBC’s five-part period drama, Parade’s End, is based on the novel by Ford Madox Ford.

As you've garnered from this post, most royal dramas are grim and dark in nature. That's not the case with The Windsor's, a comedic parody that offers up a hilarious look at England’s royal family like you’ve never seen them before. Camila wants to be Queen, Pippa Middleton is jealous of Kate, and it seems like everything that happens could be splashed across the pages of STAR magazine. The real Prince William's even said he finds the portrayal of his wife as a gypsy traveler "hilarious."

This isn’t a TV series but it is a Lifetime movie and that's close enough. "A Royal Romance" will chronicle the courtship and love story between a beloved prince and his new fiancée. While Lifetime documentaries and films are almost always cringe-worthy, if you don’t know much about Meghan Markle, it could be eye-opening as it will showcase her road to becoming a princess -- her childhood, acting and modeling gigs and her humanitarian work. At the very least, you’ll come out with a few good laughs and be well equipped for the real thing on May 19! The TV film premieres May 13, just a few days prior!
