Martha's Little Angels was an unaired reality TV show starring the royal family members: Queen Alexandra, Mary, Duchess of Sussex, Märtha Louise, Queen Mother, created by Marcus Parry. The show which had been intended to portray the daily lives of the then newly proclaimed Queen Mother alongside her two daughters, whom she was extremely close with initially received mixed approval during its initial stages and was ultimately cancelled before it was to air its first episode.

Controversies

Following the death of the previous Queen Mother on 12 August 2014, the British royal family became more acclaimed in the public eye.

Marcus Parry, a local TV show creator had then met the new Queen Mother in order to gain approval for the creation of the show. Despite gaining the approval and having assembled a team of its own producers and others, the show however was later panned by members of the British royal family, with Queen Alexandra labeling the show as "utterly disrespectful" following the recent passing of Queen Mother Lauren, though it was persistently claimed that the latter would not be featured, but simply referred to in the show.

Regardless, following a steady increase of criticism from both the British royals and the British public, added with vivid disapproval from its own "cast", Parry later declared that the show had been cancelled "on understandable grounds".

This decision was unanimously reiterated by BBC, which had initially decided to host the show on its channel.
