Dr David Starkey concludes his epic story of our monarchy with a special programme on the history of the House of Windsor.
Far from being stuck in the past, the story of the monarchy in the 20th Century has been one of re-invention. In the space of a few decades our Royal family changed its name, its image and the role it played in the life of the nation.
It embraced new technology and found new ways to engage with the people. As David Starkey reveals, this was a course of action that would take the monarchy to some of its greatest moments of triumph, but also sowed the seeds of its near destruction. But the British Monarchy still soldiers on!

  • I can play part 1 but thats it. None of the others. Having no problems with any other Youtube vids. Strange.

  • @LaserBeam002 I don't know what's the problem. All of the parts are playing for me. Try some other time (and if it doesn't play, then contact me again; I will see what I can do).

  • thank you for sharing it with us*

  • @324wilson Well....It is not working. I can play all parts.

  • Long live our most devoted Queen!

  • This narrator has made several mistakes. Is he really a historian?

  • @LeonardoMendozaR watch part 3 :)

  • Good Lord Please stop these mass amounts of bloody adverts...........its getting really old!!!

  • I like how when Edward VII wants to participate in ceremonies he's pompous and ridiculous, but when George V doesn't like those same ceremonies they're suddenly "of necessity".

  • "For the first time, in the two centuries of the house of Hannover..."What's Starkey meaning? Victoria I was last Hanover! From Edward VII to Elisabeth II they're all Saxony-Coburg-Gotha, rebranded "Windsor" in 1917! With Prince Charles, "Windsor" becomes a branch of the House of Greece, a side branch of the House of Denmark, on it's part a branch of the House of Schleswig-Holstein, which in turn is a branch of the House of Oldenburg! Then, why's he saying that, a historian of that rank?
