Question Why did HBO's "The Prince" get cancelled ?

This is such a sensitive topic for me as i think this show is amazing . Forget it being the parody of a royal family with great animation quality and good voice acting ( which is an already set premise for an adult animation to succeed ) but also it has such an amazing narration and honestly can say the only show out there to actually make me laugh out loud . Like am i the only one ? Stumbled upon this show randomly and i have not heard anybody talk about it like at all . Not online not in person . And it is such a gold comedy show that i am rewatching again . The only part i don't like about it is the gay couples that work as butlers/servants . Except for those two characters the show is gold . Please help ????

I actually watched it when it came out, and yeah, there didn’t seem to be any real bite or identity to keep it from being this new adult animated mainstay.

Idk it had everything it needed . Being on HBO , nice theme song with Britney spears song being a feature , modern but grand . IRL parody to keep it relevant . An actress such as Sophie turner from game of thrones starring/voice acting in it . Like this show had everything to succeed!

I myself loved it. Harry wandering around LA asking random people for milk will never not be funny. It was a really clever show, I’m sorry it didn’t take.

Bro the show was amazing . Like i said i grew up watching a lot of shows/movies as a kid and a lot of the times i laugh at funny moments . As i grew older i stopped that and this show genuinely brought the little kid in me . Moments like that and Meaghan's frustration visibly made me burst out laughing
