Plot
In the first season of Almost Royal, Georgie and Poppy Carlton, the 57th and 58th in line to the throne, travelled all over the United States - from Texas to Michigan and California to New York - familiarizing themselves with this great country and its even greater citizens. Now, Georgie and Poppy return to continue their examination of American culture, exploring subjects like beauty, holidays, sport and law and order. Leaving no stone unturned, they will dig deep to push the boundaries of documentary journalism to show the world what America looks like from a British - almost royal - point of view.
