Willi und die Windzors (lit. "Willi and the Windzors") is a 1996 German comedic television film. Produced under the impression of the continued scandals surrounding members of the British Royal Family during the mid-1990s, the parody film presents an alternate history in which Britain becomes a republic so that Queen Elizabeth II and her family (the Windsors, which is deliberately misspelled in the title) are expelled from their country and move in with relatives in Germany. The film was directed by Hape Kerkeling, who also appears as the titular character, Willi Bettenberg (cf. Battenberg and the House of Mountbatten), the royal family's (ficticious) next of kin.
Synopsis
Due to the "unmoralic behavior" of the royal family and the high cost of maintaining the royal court, the British parliament passes a bill to abolish monarchy with immediate effect. Queen Elizabeth II (Irm Hermann, depicted as the stone-hearted head of the family), Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (Brigitte Mira), Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (Charles Brauer), who is shown to have a disfunctional relationship with his son, Charles, Prince of Wales (Ludger Pistor), as well as Diana, Princess of Wales (Katharina Schubert) (who is shown to blossom out having lost any royal obligations), Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon (who is depicted as a deranged drinker), and the Princes William and Harry have to leave the country. Sarah, Duchess of York and Prince Andrew, Duke of York instead become members of the British workforce to pay off their mounting debt.

And some isn't". When Archbishop Fisher of the Church of England refuses her request to allow her and divorced war hero Peter Townsend, an equerry to her sister, to wed in a religious ceremony, and her brother-in-law and confidant Prince Philip advises her she will lose all her material possessions if they engage in a civil union, Margaret ends the relationship and plunges into a hedonistic lifestyle that frequently draws headlines in the press. She finds herself partnered with Tony Armstrong-Jones at a party that dissolves into an evening of sexual shenanigans, and she and the impoverished photographer begin to meet frequently for clandestine encounters in his dingy flat. When their relationship is made public, the two wed in an elaborate ceremony that is admired by those who embrace the monarchy and criticized by politicians who are shocked at the amount of money spent on the occasion while their constituents are struggling to get by on meager wages.
