Royals: Keeping the Crown (2021)

Royals: Keeping The Crown charts the rise, fall, and rebranding of royal families across the globe from the First World War to the present day. From the murder of the Romanov family in 1918 to Prince Harry's marriage to the American actress Meghan Markle in 2018. This six-part series assesses the impact of world wars, communism, commerce, the tabloid press and the cult of celebrity on royalty over the last 100 years. This is the story of the high wire act which Royals have had to perform over the last 100 years to stay on their thrones. Filmed at glamourous location, with famous faces, extraordinary narratives, colourised black and white footage and unseen archive from multiple international and private collections. Experts, royal relatives, former staff and critics will explain one hundred tumultuous years of revolution, family conflict, scandal, suspicious deaths and bad publicity. We focus on Royal Families at their critical moments: where circumstances or arrogance could easily cause the crown to fall from the head of the monarch.
