True Royalty is premiering a host of new programs in April and May in perfect time for Her Majesty to pass another milestone in her reign. On 7 May, The Queen will become the third longest-reigning monarch in history, passing Johann II of Liechtenstein.
One film is already available on the streaming site. It premiered on 1 April to honour the memory of the late Duke of Edinburgh, who died on 9 April 2021. Prince Philip: Prince, Husband, Father uses the Prince’s own words and drawings, along with archived footage, as a lovely tribute. Viewers will hear Prince Philip talk about things like the role of the monarchy.
In May, four new shows will be available for streaming: Paxman on the Queen’s Children, Secrets of the Royal Babies, Harry and William: What Went Wrong? and Walking Tudor England.
According to True Royalty, Paxman on the Queen’s Children will be a two-part documentary that focuses on the lives of The Queen’s children. It is hosted by respected British journalist Jeremy Paxman. Secrets of the Royal Babies will discuss with historians, royal experts and insiders how couples deal with raising their children and having nannies to help out when necessary.
Regarding the program on Harry and William, the streaming service has said: “Harry and William: What Went Wrong? is a documentary that attempts to get to the bottom of the brothers’ royal rift, and in so doing, looks at issues that go to the heart of the debate about the future of the monarchy. How did the trauma of their mother’s loss shape the Princes? How did their parents’ divorce help shape how both Princes view the media? How were the traditions in the Royal Family challenged by the arrival of Meghan and how has this affected the attitudes William and Harry have for each other? Harry and William: What Went Wrong? strives to answer these questions and more.”
Last but certainly not least, those interested in the Tudors will not be disappointed in the six-part series Walking Tudor England. Historian and Professor Suzannah Lipscomb guides viewers on a journey through the Tudor dynasty. There’s also an investigation into English explorer Sir Francis Drake and questions whether or not he really was a hero.
All will premiere on 2 May.
