Private Lives of the Monarchs, Season 2

A reluctant king who abdicated the British throne for the love of an American divorcée. A Russian tsar who ruled with an enlightened mind and a cruel temperament. A warmongering French emperor who rose from nothing only to lose it all. Far from the conventional biography, we go beyond the politics and treaties, beneath the robes and wigs to reveal who these powerful people were and what really went on behind the closed doors of history’s most famous royal palaces.
