Overview
The story of a thousand years of monarchy told through milestones of royal families through the ages, beginning by looking at the death and funeral of Queen Victoria, with biographer Shrabani Basu, author Stewart Richards and historian Lisa Hilton piecing together what went on behind palace walls. Historian Kate Williams tells the story of George IV, whose catastrophic wedding to Caroline of Brunswick went ahead even though he'd already illegally 'married' his mistress a decade before.
