We are proud to present our latest original documentary, tracing the history of King Juan Carlos I of Spain's tumultuous rise to power and his scandalous fall from grace. Premiering on October 23, this True Royalty original features the first-ever on-camera interview with the King’s former mistress Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, who accuses the Spanish Royal Family of being responsible for a pre-planned smear campaign amounting to “intrusion, surveillance, harassment and abusive behaviour”.

True Royalty has launched its first original Meghan and Harry: The First 100 Days – a fascinating window into the extraordinary world of the Royal Family’s most dynamic couple as they embark on their new life together.

It’s been quite a year for Prince Harry and with his 34th birthday we thought we’d celebrate his life at True Royalty with a curated collection of the best and most insightful documentaries about the charismatic prince. Here are five of our favourites.

The birth of a Royal Baby is an almost magical moment; not only does it herald a new branch on one of the world’s most distinguished family trees, but it allows the world to bask in the optimistic glow of a truly historic occasion.

From bears and hippos, to crocodiles and crows, the royals have always been surrounded by animals both exotic and homely.

From closer to home to further afield, the royals have been out and about in the last seven days. This week we look at how Prince William broke royal protocol on his African tour, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s visit to their namesake and the announcement of a musical about Diana.

In the first of our new series where we go behind the scenes of some of our favourite royal documentaries, we shine a light on Princess Margaret: Her Real Life Story.

True Royalty’s Editor-in-Chief, Nick Bullen, is the man responsible for broadcasting the royal wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank to the world. But if you can’t watch it live, True Royalty will be playing the full three-hour special on demand from Friday evening onwards.

British royal brides never fail to put on a true wedding extravaganza: walking elegantly down the aisle as if it were a royal catwalk, coated in the finest jewels and flaunting jaw-dropping dresses. Another thing you can be sure of is that they will be following the marital tradition of ‘something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.’ With its origins from Victorian times, each something is said to grace the bride with luck on her wedding day.

On Friday, 12th October 2018, Princess Eugenie married Mr. Jack Brooksbank. But if you’re not entirely sure how the bride-to-be fits into the wider royal family, fear not – below we explain exactly who Princess Eugenie is and where she sits on the royal family tree.

In the second of our new series, Pick of the Week, where we go behind the scenes of some of our favourite royal documentaries, BAFTA-winning filmmaker and Editor-in-Chief at True Royalty, Nick Bullen, explains why you simply have to watch Last Party at the Palace.

News that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their first child sent the media into a royal baby frenzy. This coupled with the fact they have embarked on their first tour together has meant they’ve remained very much in the limelight. Back home, senior royals have been remembering old heroes and meeting new ones.

With Meghan and Harry firmly in the spotlight – the current success of their antipodean tour coupled with the happy news that Meghan is expecting – our pick of the week simply had to be Meghan and Harry: The First 100 Days.

In this week’s Royal News Round Up, as The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s tour Down Under officially comes to an end, we look back at the last five days including their visit to New Zealand where they experienced the culture of languages, tribes and nose-rubbing. Over in Africa, Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall have set off to welcome back a nation into the Commonwealth.

Heritage, lineage and tradition: these are the foundations of artisan Suffolk brickmaker Bulmer Brick & Tile, as they keep centuries-old methods alive by working to preserve Britain’s architectural history. It’s no surprise, then, that this small family firm is one of a select group of master craftsmen entrusted with the conservation of the Historic Royal Palaces.

This week’s pick is more a collection than an individual film as BAFTA-winning filmmaker, Nick Bullen, explains how Charles is an often misunderstood member of The Royal Family.

This week’s pick is Prince Charles: A Private Tour, which is the first film True Royalty’s Editor-in-Chief, Nick Bullen, made with The Prince and sees the heir to the throne at his most relaxed and candid.

Armistice Day has always been a vital event in the Royal calendar, and all the more so in 2018 as the nation marks 100 years since the end of the First World War. The Royal Family plays a pivotal role in the Remembrance Day ceremonies, their stoic display of respect at The Cenotaph a mainstay of the annual commemoration.

The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh will be celebrating their 71st wedding anniversary today, but they will be sharing the date with an infamous event in Royal history: the Windsor Castle fire.

On this day, 20th November, 71 years ago, Princess Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten. It was only two years after the war and the occasion marked a glimpse of joy in an otherwise bleak period of austerity and rationing. Sir Winston Churchill put it aptly in describing the marriage as, “A flash of colour on the hard road we have to travel.”

With Prince Charles’s 70th birthday coming to a close, The Royals’ busy schedule of appointments continues unabated. From a post box time capsule to the anniversary of a certain wedding engagement, here are the highlights of the Royal calendar from the last five days.

Prince Philip’s mother, Princess Alice, had a troubled yet remarkable life but surprisingly it is a story not many people know about. She died peacefully on this day (5th December) in 1969 in Buckingham Palace but her life was full of turbulence and turmoil.

In the first week of December, there is already a palpable air of Christmas excitement making its way to the Royal Calendar. The Royals’ more workaday duties are not forgotten amid the festive philanthropy, however, as evidenced by The Prince of Wales’ dedication to his patronages. Meanwhile, a former First Lady has words of advice for the Duchess of Sussex…

On this day (10th December) 1936, Edward VIII gave up his throne. After the state refused to allow him to marry the twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson, he chose love over duty and became the first King to do so since the Roman Catholic James II fled the realm in 1688.

With Christmas just around the corner, the Royals have been out spreading festive cheer. From Christmas-themed children’s workshops to a very seasonal visit to a donkey charity, we highlight the Royals’ activities in the past week.

Serving the Royals, this week’s pick from Jessica Fellowes, journalist, novelist and author of several Downton Abbey companion books, offers an exclusive insight into the men and women who served the Royal Family.

The final week before Christmas saw Royal duties take on an almost uniformly festive flavour – but there have nevertheless been a few surprises in the Royal calendar. From audio advent calendars to Christmas cards, and one Royal opting to miss out on a Boxing Day tradition, we take a look at the last seven days in the life of the Royals.

With 2018 heralding the union of two newly-married royal couples, the arrival of two Royal babies and the announcement that a third is on the way, Christmas for the Royals was spent indulging in family time and festivities. From breaking a Royal Christmas tradition, to acts of remembrance and honour, we recap what The Royals have been up to over the Christmas and New Year period.

From Diana to Grace Kelly to the Princesses of Sweden, the life of a modern-day princess isn’t always as glamorous as it seems; many have had to make great sacrifices on the altar of their regal reputations.

This week’s Pick of The Week from Jessica Fellowes, journalist and author of ‘The World of Downton Abbey’, previews a documentary that looks into those incidents of drama and dishonour that have rocked – and sometimes even jeopardised – the monarchy throughout history.

From birthdays to public performances of Bohemian Rhapsody, the Royal family have had a week filled with celebrations and culture – but certainly haven’t forgotten to devote time to their Royal duties. Here’s our recap of what the Royal family has been up to this week.

On 24th June 1907, Prince George and Princess Mary of Wales – later crowned King George V and Queen Mary – became the first members of the monarchy to join the crowds at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. The Prince enjoyed the game so much that he became the club’s president later that year.

This week the Royals have returned to their duties in full force after the festive period. From the centenary of a war poet’s death to alfresco pizza-making, we take a look back at the latest week of the Royal calendar.

William the Conqueror was not a well-loved King. In fact, he was more commonly known as William the Bastard during his lifetime, in reference to having being born out of wedlock to Duke Robert I of Normandy and a comparatively low-born woman named Herleva.

From rumoured Royal babies to biographers bringing up the past, the Royal Family is never far away from the headlines. We have rounded up the the highlights of Royal coverage from the past week to ensure you don’t miss out on any regal revelations.

More than 40 years ago, Queen Elizabeth II became the world’s first monarch to send an email – before the Internet was even invented.

From cute nicknames to the future of Buckingham Palace, get your weekly regal fix in this week’s Royal News Round Up.

Celebrity stalkers may seem like a peculiarly modern phenomenon – particularly with social media bringing stars closer to their public than ever before – but they’ve been around far longer than you might have thought.

From regal  anniversaries to family tension, each week we discover something new about the British Royal Family. If you can’t get enough of the Windsors, read on for True Royalty’s royal news round up!

The life of a Royal can be extremely isolating; separated from the public by legions of staff, security and, often, the walls of Buckingham Palace, it is virtually impossible for the Royals to experience life as an ordinary member of the public.

From volunteering at a homeless shelter to raising the next generation of Windsors, there is never a quiet day in the life of a British Royal. But don’t worry – we take the work out of keeping up with the Royals’ busy schedule. Read on for True Royalty’s Royal News Round Up!

The UK is famous for being a nation of pet lovers, which usually means owning a dog, a cat or – if you’re very lucky – a horse. Some of us may even know an animal enthusiast who has taken things to the next level by getting themselves a veritable pack of dogs, or accumulating a clowder of cats.

We have provided lots of ways for you to access watch True Royalty TV so you can watch the best Royal shows and documentaries out there whether that be on your big flat screen tv in the comfort of your home or on the bus to work on your smartphone. Read on for a clear guide to the various ways you can watch the world’s first and only on-demand TV service devoted to Royalty.

The British Royal Family has had a fractured relationship with photographs, to say the least. Whether it’s Harry being caught in a state of extreme undress (or, alternatively, dressed up too extremely), or the paparazzi hounding Princess Diana to her tragic fate, the demand for photos of the Royals often ends extremely badly.

From supporting charities in Northern Ireland to carrying out Royal duties in far-flung Morocco, it has been a busy week for the Windsors. Keep up to date with their latest activities and assignments in this week’s Royal news round up!

In the second episode of The Royal View: Blood On Their Hands, guests look at the feud between the press and the Royals, and debate whether the paparazzi are too invasive in their pursuit of Royals, or if the fact they’re in the public eye makes them fair game.

Queen Elizabeth II’s marriage has been going strong for over 70 years; now two years into its platinum decade, her union is the longest in the history of any British monarch. In fact, it seems likely that no monarch in the history of the world has ever been married longer.

From the Queen’s first Instagram post to regal celebrations at Buckingham Palace, it’s certainly been a busy week for the Royal Family. Read on for your weekly dose of Royal news in True Royalty Magazine’s weekly round up.

The press would have us all believe there is a rift between the two most famous sisters-in-law in the world, but what really is going on behind the Palace walls between Kate and Meghan? Is there really a feud brewing between the two Duchesses?

It’s been over 80 years since a divorced woman brought the Royal Family to its knees. Times may have changed, but is Buckingham Palace still scandalised by the arrival of another American divorcee in the 21st century?

Worldwide fame is part and parcel of life as a British Monarch, and even more so for Queen Elizabeth II than her predecessors; her renown is amplified by having ascended to the throne during the era of modern communications, and since becoming Britain’s longest-reigning sovereign.

Despite being remembered fondly as a ‘fairytale wedding’, the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana quickly became mired in betrayals and recriminations. Was this spectacular tale of affair and scandal ever salvageable? Or was it doomed from the very start?

The world knows about Princess Margaret’s wild party lifestyle and her forbidden love for Peter Townsend – but is this the whole story? Was this image of the scandalous younger sister fair, or was there more to the rebellious Princess than meets the eye?

While many romanticise the Royal Family as privileged and born into a wealthy dynasty, they sacrifice any attempt of a private life with their titles. Should this just be an accepted part of the role or considered an invasion of privacy from the press?

Find out who really pulls the Royal strings; why Diana wanted to leave the Royal Family and why Meghan had so few friends and family at her wedding. Guests include Royal insiders, commentators and biographers, all of whom get behind the headlines to reveal the truth about the British Royal Family.

Find out who really pulls the Royal strings; why Diana wanted out of the Royal Family and why Meghan had so few friends and family at her wedding. Guests include Royal insiders, commentators and biographers, all of whom get behind the headlines to reveal the truth about the British Royal Family.

It’s easy to forget that alongside the duty and privilege that come with being a member of the Royal Family, there is also the inescapable fact that you are going to spend your entire life being considered a potential target.

During her reign as monarch, Queen Elizabeth II has aimed to be as unpolitical and uninvolved in the scandals that surrounded her as possible. Should the Queen make more of an effort to be involved to lead our nation in the 21st century? Or should she remain our stoic and reserved Head of State?

While many saw Harry and Meghan’s wedding as a moment of national unity and pride for Britain, others have noted that it seems to have divided Meghan’s own family more than ever before. Was snubbing her own family a necessary move for Meghan to avoid tabloid headlines, or has it simply created enemies for the American Princess?

As Meghan’s due date fast approaches we thought we’d highlight our favourite shows on True Royalty TV about growing up a Royal. Our first pick is the aptly titled Royal Babies.

Prince Charles’s early years did not, by all accounts, constitute the happiest or most carefree of childhoods, and his time at Gordonstoun School in Scotland is known to have been particularly tough.

As we count down the days until Meghan introduces the newest member of the Royal Family to the world, True Royalty TV shines a light on another revolutionary Royal mother. Secrets of the Royal Nursery looks at Princess Diana and how she proved to the world that you could be both Royal and a devoted mother.

From Somerset to Cuba, the Royals have been spotted all over the globe this week. Get the real news over the gossip in this week’s Royal News Round-Up!

As Meghan baby fever begins to build, we are handpicking our favourite shows on True Royalty TV about growing up a Royal – this time we take a look at the future child’s cousin in William, Kate and the Royal Baby.

With Harry and Meghan’s child on the way, it’s a wonderful time to highlight Royal Recipes: Childhood, a documentary on True Royally that looks at the food that meant the most to the Royals in their childhood.

When Larissa Tudor died in the small Kentish town of Lydd in 1926, she was buried in a nondescript corner of the All Saints Church cemetery. The name inscribed on her gravestone, however, and the dates listed for her birth, would end up fuelling rumours that the woman buried there had a much more illustrious past than anyone realised - one that some argued could be traced back to the House of Romanov, the last ever Royal Dynasty of Russia. 

Royal births today have an audience of millions – perhaps even billions – but their experience of the event is filtered through news cameras and confined respectfully to the outside of the hospital.

From breaking records to potential romantic reunions, it has been an exciting week for the Royal Family. Get all the most important updates in one place with this week’s Royal Round Up.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are playing their cards very close to their chest with regards to whether they’re having a boy or a girl – but if one thing is clear, it’s that they’re going to be absolutely thrilled with either.

The latest episode of The Royal View – the show that brings you the truth behind the Royal Family’s most talked about moments – is now live! Episode 5: In-Laws and Outlaws features guests including former Royal butler Paul Burrell and Vanity Fair’s contributing editor Katie Nicholls, and examines the dysfunctional side to the British Royal Family. From the King who deserted his country for love, to in-laws selling stories to the press – it’s quite apparent that the old maxim “you can choose your friends but not your family” applies even to the Queen of England!

From working with MI6 to celebrating wedding anniversaries, there is rarely a quiet moment in the lives of the British Royal Family. Keep up to date with the Dukes and Duchesses in this week’s Royal News Round Up!

In our latest documentary celebrating Royal babies, and in anticipation of Harry and Meghan’s new addition to the Royal Family, follow the journey of the boy who will one day be king in Prince George at One.

Today, the idea of being able to hide away a Royal child is unthinkable – not just because of our more refined sense of morality in the 21st century, but because of the sheer unlikelihood of being able to keep anything of such a magnitude hidden from the unrelenting gaze of the modern media.

The best part of a century ago, a princess was born. Named Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, she is the daughter of Prince Albert, Duke of York and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. For the first ten years of her life, the future Queen had no expectation of becoming a monarch, instead living the (relatively) normal life of a Royal Princess.

Did you know that Prince Charles was the first heir to the British throne to attend a real (albeit private) school?

Perhaps in a foreshadowing of Diana’s time as a member of the Royal Family, Diana’s early life was distinctly tainted by misery and tragedy.

This week, the Royal family celebrated not one, but two birthdays! Find out more about the festivities – and all the other Royal news – in the latest instalment of our Royal news roundup.

vIf a picture speaks a thousand words, what can a wedding dress, a diamond tiara or a pair of jeans say about us?

Finding the right wedding dress is always important, but it is absolutely essential if you are having a Royal wedding. 

Royal Babies may not have the Queen’s power to give Royal Assent to legislature – putting laws and bills passed by parliament into effect – but the modern age has seen the newest generation of Royals become, in some ways, far more influential than their great grandmother.

The Royals may not say much but their clothes speak volumes. From her simple, mature wedding gown to the controversial tuxedo to ethical jeans, Meghan Markle uses her fashion choices to promote causes, break taboos and retain her individual sense of style. Take a break from Royal baby fever and read on to discover what Meghan Markle’s fashion says about her.

From their wedding dress to the clothes they pack for international tours, what a Royal wears can tell us a lot about who they are, how they feel and the message they are trying to convey. The Royal Family may not say much, but their fashion choices can start trends, make careers and promote social change.

The days of enormous skirts, huge sleeves and elaborate headgear are now in the past: today’s Royal Princesses are stylish, modern and set fashion trends all around the world.

To complete Meghan Markle’s fairytale, the Duchess has now moved into Frogmore Cottage just a stone’s throw from the Queen’s home at Windsor Castle.

Now, after receiving a £3m upgrade, it has been fittingly decorated for a Duchess, and True Royalty is delving deep into the Sussexes’ decor with an exclusive new documentary titled “Meghan Markle: Inside the Home of a Princess”.

Frogmore Cottage has been transformed into the lap of Hollywood-worthy luxury, with velvet sofas, old mirrors and multi-coloured cushions; there’s even an annex where Meghan Markle’s mother Doria Ragland can stay, whenever she chooses to visit.

Queen Elizabeth II isn’t just the UK’s longest reigning monarch – she’s also a property tycoon with a huge portfolio of castles, cottages and stately homes.

Much has been made of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s renovation of Frogmore Cottage into a luxury Royal residence befitting a modern Royal couple.

The Duchess of Sussex is not a typical Royal mother. The 37-year-old former actress is a divorced American who had a fairly ordinary childhood.

If you want to know what it’s really like for Meghan since she became The Duchess of Sussex, you can learn about all aspects of her new life – from fashion icon to home stylist to mother – in our Meghan Trilogy, exclusively on True Royalty TV.

As the son of international Royal couple, baby Sussex is likely to have a passport full of stamps before he turns five.

In July 1918, the last Russian Royal Family disappeared without a trace. The seven Romanovs, along with four servants, were kept in a secluded Siberian prison house with a high fence and blacked-out windows for over a year until, one day, they were gone.

Grace Kelly won the role of a lifetime when she traded her Hollywood career for a tiara and married Prince Rainier III of Monaco, a small country surrounded by France and the Mediterranean.

Paul Burrell was Princess Diana’s personal butler, close friend and trusted confidant – so why was he discovered to be hoarding Diana’s dresses, photographs, postcards, crockery, paintings and other possessions in his house just a few short years after her death? Did Paul Burrell betray Princess Diana?

It was a chilly night on March 20th, 1974 when Princess Anne left a movie premier with her new husband and ducked into a maroon limousine which would escort her back to Buckingham Palace. Little did she know this would be a night she would never forget.

When a monarchy is as illustrious as the British Royal Family, it’s no wonder they have some extremely dedicated admirers across the world.

Why would a Saudi Prince with immense wealth get involved in a shady drug deal? It sounds far-fetched, but this is a true story.

It was a calm evening in the seaside town of Estoril, Portugal when a gunshot shattered the silence. It was March 29th, 1956 and a member of Spain’s exiled Royal Family had just been killed.

How much do you really know about Camilla? For example, did you know that HRH her great grandmother Alice Frederica Keppel was the long term mistress of King Edward VII? If you’re interested in finding out more about the future Queen consort, read on to delve into her childhood and early years with Prince Charles.

If you want to go beyond what the tourist sees when they look round Windsor Castle, then The Queen’s Castle collection is your answer. The filmmakers were granted unprecedented access to both castle and Queen. Filming over the course of a year, these documentaries show that this turreted citadel is no museum: it is a living, breathing castle which serves as a beloved home to the Royal Family and their staff.

The collection of properties belonging to The Crown Estate are valued at £14.1bn, but only a few of these are occupied by members of the Royal Family, with even fewer numbering among the official residences of Queen Elizabeth II.

For more than a hundred years, the strong-willed women who have married into the House of Windsor have stamped their indelible mark on the character of the British Royal Family. Now they have been joined by Meghan Markle – who may yet prove to be the greatest agent of change of them all.

Marrying a Prince  may sound like a fairy tale come true, but the reality of Royal life can be harsh and unforgiving. From navigating an endless list of unwritten rules to living the rest of your life in the public eye, Royal life can turn into a full-blown nightmare after just one faux pas.

Of all the members of the Royal Family, recent inductee Meghan Markle has stirred up the devotion and passion of the public like no other. Her romance and subsequent marriage to Prince Harry has redefined the modern fairytale, and has made the world reconsider what it means to be a Royal.

From party Prince to doting dad, Harry’s transition from his wild 20s to settling down into married 30s life has been striking. Most people have remarkable transformations as they make their way through life, but not many people are in the public eye as much as the sixth-in-line to the throne.

Relationships between sisters can be complicated – often extremely close, yet often fraught with rivalry. Relationships between Royal sisters take these dynamics to an extreme, where not only are you part of a family but part of an institution. This can make the relationship political as well as emotional – and the consequences can be extreme.

As the second series of The Crown drew to a close, we left Prince Charles amid the gloom of Gordonstoun; bullied by his peers and admonished by Prince Philip for his sensitivity.

The second season of The Crown brought viewers up to 1964 in the history of the British Royal Family, meaning that Princess Anne would have been 14 years old by the end of the period covered in the Netflix drama so far. So why have we seen so little of her?

On this week’s Royal Beat, True Royalty celebrates Prince Philip, a man who has put duty first in 72 years of marriage to Queen Elizabeth II.

No sooner had Meghan become the Duchess of Sussex than the rumour mill kicked into gear, fuelled by speculation that Her Royal Highness has an even loftier ambition in mind.

In defining True Royalty, The Telegraph put it neatly when they described us as the ‘Netflix for Royal Watchers’.

That’s about as succinct as one can get. If you know how Netflix works – providing a vast library of films you can watch anytime and on multiple devices – then imagine that, but devoted entirely to documentaries and factual dramas about royalty.

On Saturday 4th August Meghan Markle will be 37.

To celebrate the Duchess of Sussex’s birthday, True Royalty are giving FIVE lucky Royal fans the chance to win a year’s subscription to True Royalty and a Fortnum & Mason English Essentials Hamper worth £150.
