Inside 1000 years of British Royal tradition, from weddings and holidays to fashion and feuds. This series reveals the rules and customs of Britain’s most famous family.
No yoga pants, no cleavage – and tiaras cannot be worn before 6pm. Teacup handles must be kept at 3 o’clock and royal women should adopt the ‘Duchess slant’ to prevent embarrassment when sitting. Summers will be spent at Balmoral Castle, winters skiing in the Swiss Alps. Wedding rings will made of Welsh gold and brides should wear their hair up. Honeymoons can be taken on the royal yacht or just as popular, Scotland.
These are just some of the British Royal Family’s many rules and traditions that form the foundations of how to do absolutely everything as a royal. This new, endlessly watchable and returnable series reveals exactly what makes the royals, so …well..royal. We explore exactly what these royal customs are, why they exist and which century they might have come from.
With exclusive access to Getty’s extensive royal archive, A Royal Guide To… uses stunning archive and insider interviews to reveal an intimate portrayal of the inner workings of the Royal Family. From holidays and heartbreak to schools and scandal, each episode addresses a different topic to show exactly how the Royal Family, past and present, deal with life and everything it throws at them in a thoroughly regal way.
