Queen Helena (Elizabeth Hurley) will be accused of murder in the new episode of "The Royals" Season 2.
In the recap by E! Online of "The Royals" Season 2 episode 7, the true meaning of Domino was revealed when Prince Liam (William Moseley) discovered that Domino is Dominique Stewart (Georgina Bevan), who is King Simon's (Vincent Regan) one true love. Ted (Oliver Milburn) revealed that Simon called her Domino because he couldn't pronounce her name correctly.
Back at the house of Truman (Jim Piddock), who was an old friend of Simon, Truman shows Liam an old photograph of his father and Dominique. When Liam asked where his mother was during the time, Truman revealed to him that his grandmother was able to insert Helena's name in the list of girls Simon was supposed to meet. Later it was revealed that Dominique was killed after the photograph was taken.
International Business Times reports that with that information, Liam thinks that his mother was the person behind Domino's death. In the trailer for "The Royals" Season 2 episode 8, Princess Eleanor (Alexandra Park) and Liam can be seen confronting their mother about Domino. It seems like they really think that Helena can resort to murder to get into power. However, Helena denies this accusation.
Apparently, the twins are not the only ones who think that Helena is capable of murder, as King Cyrus (Jake Maskall) also thinks that the queen would do everything to protect her throne, including killing other people. In another scene of the trailer, the king can be seen talking to Ted about how Helena is desperate to protect her throne, although it is still unclear if he was referring to Domino or another person.
"The Royals" Season 2 episode 8 is scheduled to air on E! on Jan. 3.
