The two series, which originally aired on the BBC in 2009 and 2010, will follow six royal subjects as they try to form intimate relationships not based on their wealth or notoriety but by hitting the bars, clubs, Internet dating sites, and even trying speed dating.
The three princesses will share a house in "the party scene" of Essex county during their search for love, while the three princes will live together in townhouse in the city of Brighton -- which is known for its "higher than average number of singles," according to the network.
Both sets of royalty must let go of their hired help and cook, clean and shop for themselves. The princes and princesses will also be featured working everyday jobs including waiting tables, cleaning hotels and bartending with the hopes of finding dates or an attraction to their co-workers.
Undercover Princes and Undercover Princesses were produced by Objective Productions.
The princes who will star in Undercover Princes are:
- Crown Prince Manvendra of Rajpipla. A 46-year-old from one of India's richest royal families, he shocked the world by becoming the first Indian royal to come out as gay.
- Prince Africa Zulu of Onkweni Royal House. A 33-year-old from South Africa, he grew up in a traditional and conservative family and struggles with the liberal Brighton culture as well as with Prince Manvendra's sexuality.
- Prince Remigius of Jaffna. A 47-year-old from Sri Lanka, he was raised with strict protocol in search of a queen to continue the royal line.
