A Royal Guide To

This episode looks at the history of royal parenting, from birth announcements to the role of the governess. The programme also examines how education has changed - while the modern-day royals all go to school, hundreds of years ago sword fighting and riding into battle were the main lessons on offer.

The royals' love of animals, including Queen Elizabeth's love of corgis, the elite stable of racehorses that have brought in millions and their prize-winning dogs with specialist trainers. The documentary also looks back in time to the Royal Menagerie at the Tower of London. Founded by King John in the early 1200s, it was once home to more than 60 species - including a polar bear said to have fished in the Thames.

Documentary exploring the royal garden, a key place for new monarchs to make their mark. Henry VIII's original hunting grounds are now central London's royal parks. King Charles spent decades transforming Highgrove, and the late Queen and Prince Philip reworked Victoria and Albert's Balmoral Estate. Multi-purpose green spaces act as a source of income, a place to relax, and perhaps most importantly somewhere to host spectacular parties.
