The Wonder of Britain

Our Royal Story (1x4)

Air date: Aug 13, 2015

Julia takes a look at the country's Royal story. Britain has had an almost continuous monarchy for around a 1000 years, which give the country a unique royal story that has shaped our national identity. Julia starts by looking at the supposed home of legendary King Arthur at Tintagel. She then pays a visit to the Tower of London where the thick walls have seen over a millennium of royal history, and she looks at out the armour of one of our most well known royals, Henry VIII. Julia also pays a visit to Hampton Court Palace, Brighton’s Royal Pavilion, Kenilworth Castle, Osbourne House and she takes a look behind the scenes at the Household Cavalry.
