Royal Britain tells the story of the monarchy through the places that bore witness to murder, romance, politics, imprisonment, tragedy, execution and celebration. In the landscape, battles were fought for the crown and dynasties changed. For centuries Wales and Scotland fought its larger neighbour England until eventually the Britain we know today was formed. The castles, palaces and houses where these historic events took place still exist to connect the thread of Royalty from the Norman invasion in 1066 up to the present House Of Windsor.
The year is 1936 and Europe is in the grip of Adolf Hitler. In the UK, the Royal family is also in turmoil as the Duke of York reluctantly inherits the Throne and his duty as Britain's war time King.
