Step behind the scenes of Britain's most iconic royal palaces - no longer homes to monarchs, but living monuments to a thousand years of history. From Hampton Court to Kensington Palace, discover the untold stories that shaped the nation through thrilling historical detective work, forgotten recipes, and royal relics.

Watch architectural detectives Lee Prosser and Adrien Gibson uncover centuries-old construction secrets hidden in the woodwork and rooftops. At Kensington Palace, costume curators Joanna Marschner and Deirdre Murphy delve into the world's finest royal fashion collection, chasing rare historic garments and artifacts, including a safari suit designed by the Duke of Windsor and a commemorative belt linked to King George III's recovery from madness.
