One of the most famous queens in history, Mary Stuart lived in her homeland for just twelve years: as a dauntless child who laughed at her friends' seasickness as they sailed to safety in France and later, on her return as an eighteen-year-old widow to take control of a nation riven with factions, dissent, and religious strife. Brief though her in time Scotland was, her experience profoundly influenced who she was and what happened to her.

Romans księcia Karola i Camilli to jeden z najbardziej skandalicznych związków miłosnych w dziejach monarchii brytyjskiej. Nic nie jest tu takie, jak by się z pozoru mogło wydawać: książę Karol nie był podłym mężem zdradzającym piękną żonę, Diana nie miała anielskiego charakteru, a Camilla nie była tą najgorszą, ale kobietą, która dawała Karolowi to, czego najbardziej potrzebował – bezwarunkową miłość.

He was a cultural innovator, a relentless self-promoter, and an astute diplomat—the peace treaty signed after the Battle of Kadesh was the first in recorded history. He outbuilt every other Egyptian pharaoh, leaving behind the temples of Abu Simbel; the great hypostyle hall of Karnak; the tomb for his wife Nefertari; and his own memorial, the Ramesseum.

Dronning Elizabeth II er den længst levende og sidende monark. Hun har altid været kendt for at sætte pligten over lysten, men det har ikke altid været let. Pressen har flere gange kritiseret kongefamilien, særligt efter at flere af Elizabeths børns ægteskaber er gået i opløsning og Prinsesse Dianas død i 1997. Året 1992 beskriver hun selv som sit annus horribilis. DEN LÆNGST SIDENDE MONARK er anden del af to om dronning Elizabeth II. Lyt også til de øvrige episoder om blandt andre prinsesse Diana, Harry og Meghan, og prins William og Kate Middleton.

Da Elizabeth er 10 år gammel, tager hendes liv en drastisk drejning. Hendes onkel, kong Edvard VIII, abdicerer for at gifte sig med den fraskilte Wallis Simpson, og Elizabeths far bliver konge. Den unge prinsesse bliver med ét tronarving til Det Britiske Imperium. Allerede som 25-årig bliver Elizabeth dronning, da hendes far dør en alt for tidlig død, og hun må påtage sig pligtens tunge byrde og sætte Kronens ve og vel frem for alt andet. DEN UVENTEDE DRONNING er første del af to om dronning Elizabeth II’s lange og omskiftelige liv.

I 2010 faldt William langt om længe på knæ og friede til Kate under en safaritur til Kenya. Han valgte at forære hende prinsesse Dianas 18-karat safirring. I 2011, ved et overdådigt bryllup I Westminister Abbey, sagde de to endeligt ja til hinanden. MONAKIETS FREMTID fortæller historien om Storbritaniens kommende konge Prins William og hans hustru hertuginde Kate. DEN ENGELSKE KONGEFAMILIE: skandaler, hemmeligheder, rigdom, pligter og ulykkelig kærlighed. Alt sammen ord, som du måske forbinder med det engelske kongehus.

I serien DEN ENGELSKE KONGEFAMILIE kan du komme helt tæt på personerne fra den britiske kongefamilie, der siden 1917 har tilhørt huset Windsor. Vi skal på en rejse gennem de sidste hundrede år, hvor du blandt andet skal tilbringe tid med Prinsesse Diana, Prins Harry og Meghan, Dronning Elizabeth og resten af den store og fascinerende royale familie. Serien er baseret på virkelige begivenheder fra 100 års royal historie og omsat til filmiske scener.

Selvom prins Charles er født som kronprins, er han ikke altid komfortabel i den rolle. Som barn er han følsom og genert og har et kompliceret forhold til sin strenge og fraværende far, prins Philip. I tyverne er han en eftertragtet ungkarl, men det er svært at finde en hustru, der er værdig til at blive dronning. Han gifter sig med den unge Diana Spencer, men deres ægteskab er ulykkeligt. Og i baggrunden spøger Charles’ ungdomskærlighed, Camilla Parker Bowles.

I starten af 2020 vælger prins Harry og hertuginde Meghan at forlade det britiske kongehus, og i et interview med Oprah Winfrey tager de bladet fra munden og anklager den britiske kongefamilie for racisme og mobning. Efterfølgende vælger de to at forlade England og starte det nye kapitel af deres liv i USA. FARVEL ENGLAND OG GODDAG HOLLYWOOD er anden del af to om prins Harry og Meghan Markles kærlighed og deres kampe mod pressen og det stive engelske monarki.
