When King Henry VIII dies, members of his court rally for their share of power, and intend to keep the monarch’s death a secret for as long as they need; but this leaves the royal surgeon with a decaying body that nobody can know of.
If the surgeon's dilemma is for another script, leave it out of this logline. The way this logline is worded makes it seem like a large part of the story will focus on him.

Give us one protagonist that we follow and are rooting for and write the whole logline from their perspective. This will help bring the story together as you will be able to focus on one character’s desires, failings and rivals – goal, arc, and antagonist(s).
The Favourite is a great example of backstabbing, blackmail, etc in an historical film so I would highly recommend watching it. Another great example is The Death of Stalin which deals with a very similar premise albeit in a more modern setting.

I would recommend choosing ?one member of this group of misfits to be the protagonist. It’s a lot easier for the audience to emotionally invest in the film when there is predominantly one person they’re supposed to be investing in. Even in ensemble films there is usually one character who is the “main” one. Great example for a comedy like yours is Jim (Jason Biggs) in American Pie. Make sure to suggest at some sort of emotional arc too – you can use a characteristic to do this. I think it’s really important that these characters aren’t simply looking for weed. Most teen comedies of this sort are “coming of age” stories and the search is more about finding themselves than the prize (again see American Pie).
Other than that though, I think this has all the elements.

Inciting incident – what is the incident that throws the protagonist’s life upside down? I’m assuming that, since it’s a thriller, something dramatic happens that kick starts the real story.
Goal – when we have a protagonist, give them a clear visual goal that is their answer to the question posed by the inciting incident.?
