Princess Productions was a London-based television production company, formed by Henrietta Conrad and Sebastian Scott. It produced broadcast shows and pilots across a variety of genres for numerous major British broadcasters, mainly specialising in entertainment and factual entertainment programmes. Highlights included Got To Dance, Must Be the Music, T4 and The Sunday Night Project. Princess was based in Whiteleys in West London, where it had its own television studio and in-house post-production facility.

History

Princess Productions was founded in 1996. In 2006, the company became part of the Shine Group, one of the UK’s largest television production company groups. In 2017, Shine announced that Princess Productions would be closed down by the end of the year, as it was "financially fragile" and losing its space in Whiteleys, which was to be redeveloped. The company went on for another year as Princess Studios before its website was taken down.

Controversies

In October 2011, an employee of Princess Productions left a message on the unofficial Army Rumour Service message boards pitching the idea of flying British soldiers' wives and newborn babies into warzones as a surprise. The response was overwhelmingly negative. Soon afterwards, the Princess Productions website went offline. The company also posted an apology on the forum.
