The Real Windsors

The first episode looks back on the key moments of the past 70 years, exploring the tough decisions the Queen has had to make, some of which have required putting the institution before her own family.

How Prince Charles has been seen by the public during his time as heir to the throne, from out of touch eccentric to environmental activist and passionate believer in supporting young and disadvantaged people. The programme attempts to predict what is likely to happen when he finally takes his mother's place as monarch, and how the public will react to his approach to the role.

A profile of Prince William, who is often portrayed as the very picture of a modern prince, speaking candidly about issues such as mental health, racism and gay rights. But on closer inspection, does William actually have more in common with his grandmother's principles? Is Prince William actually more traditional than his PR team make out, and does he have what it takes to make an ancient institution fit for the 21st century and beyond?
