Meet the Queen of Oz cast: Catherine Tate as Queen Georgiana
Catherine Tate leads the Queen of Oz as Princess Georgiana, who's shipped off down under to become the titular royal. There are two reasons the monarchy's made this decision: they want to prevent Australia from leaving the Commonwealth, and they'd prefer to keep her more out of the public eye to try and stop her regular faux-pas and scandals from damaging the future of the institution.
Of the character, Tate said: "She's very difficult, very hard to work for, and doesn't make it easy for anyone. She's spoilt, entitled, and deeply unpleasant which of course makes her a great character to play."
