The Palace is about the daily life of a fictional royal family at Buckingham Palace. After the death of his father, the young Prince Richard unexpectedly finds himself at the head of the country. Unprepared for the task, Richard desperately tries to make the best of it, only to find that not everyone can be trusted even within the palace walls. Even within the royal family itself, not everyone is completely happy with Richard's coronation. Princess Eleanor, Richard's older sister, would have loved to have come to the throne herself. She fervently hopes that her brother makes a mistake, so that he must leave the throne to her.
