Reasons Why “Palm Royale” Chose The Prince as a Filming Location
Stacey B. Brashear, a member of Series Location Management during the filming of the Palm Royale, explained:-
“It’s so dark in [The Prince], you can shoot in that bar in the middle of the day,” “So the door opens, and the sun shines right in on them.”
Stacey further added:-
“Because it has that horseshoe bar, it’s really ideal for shooting,”
“You can get the angles from somewhat across the bar, the back of the bartender. Most bars are galley-like, so [The Prince] is just great for filming.”
“It can transform into elegant or dive bar.”
Continuing her point, Brashear further adds:-
“It was a really hard show,”
“Palm Beach is one of the harder cities to duplicate in L.A. Palm Beach is the size of a stamp, and they keep wanting more and more locations. And I’m like, ‘But Palm Beach, you’d be going to the same places all the time!’ Our country club was six to eight locations. The Ebell was mostly our hub, [but] the pool was shot somewhere else, the golf course…. all Frankensteined together!”
The Prince, whose address is 3198 1, 2 W 7th St, Los Angeles, CA 90005, has given the background to many films and series, including Palm Royale, till now and will continue to do so in the future, too.
