In this episode we journey deep into the heart of the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace to witness how centuries-old traditions and architecture are kept alive in the modern age. From restoring Hampton Court's ornate 500-year-old chimneys to reenacting the ancient "Constable's Dues" naval ceremony on the River Thames, this episode showcases the efforts of passionate volunteers, historians, and naval officers committed to preserving Britain's royal heritage. Food historians travel to France to source authentic Georgian cookware and transform Tudor kitchens into 18th-century culinary spaces - serving up everything from chocolate mousse to wine-infused hot chocolate. Meanwhile, volunteers face wind, doubt, and dwindling crowds in their mission to raise funds and awareness.
This is the programme 'Tales from the Palaces'.
From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.
