Fantastic insight & great performance

Royal history is always intriguing but can get a bit bogged down. This series was fantastic - short ad stuck with the relevant bits. I learnt a lot. The narration was easy to follow and the additional performances well timed. 10/10, gave me a lot more perspective to the royal family.
