The Windsors: A Family In Crisis | The Queen's Final Year | Real Royalty

1992 was the year described by the Queen as her “Horribilus” - the divorce of Charles and Diana, topless Fergie’s toe sucking antics and the fire in her beloved Windsor Castle. But that all seems to have been superseded by the relentless tide of issues, scandals and controversies in the past few years.

From political upheaval and the proroguing of Parliament to the scandal of Prince Andrew and his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, as well as the the rift between Harry and William, we look at what turned out to be the Queen's final year.

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.

not innocent nor being used, andrew willingly signed up to attend depravities that he so wanted to enjoy, he only got caught and thought that his title and queen would protect him and insulate him. most arrogant and entitled behaviour is his demise!

All things aside, imagine having a car crash and the other driver is prince Philip 😂

[tamararutland-mills]

I’d like to applaud this documentary for portraying British history in an interesting, entertaining and, at times, even humorous way. You have done a remarkable job here. 👏 👏 👏

[lilspring]

Why would they let a 97-year-old man drive & alone?! That is so irresponsible and a months-old baby in the other car?! Absurd and totally UNdignified.

When good ole Meg said that in America there isn’t tabloid issues 😳🫢😂
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[ewapulawska-wentland]

They should know better who Epstein was all that intelligence

[bbrown]

This Richard Fitzsimmons guy is so hilarious. "HAVING. HER. TOES. SUCKED."

The children of Prince Philip and the Queen have much to be ashamed of Is there any chance of one of these privileged generations will have the backbone to behave themselves? That film broke my heart for the Queen and I’m American. Even the Queen’s beloved sister acted like a brat. Kudos to Princess Anne. You grew up. I’m proud of you.

Well life as a royal is not easy for the one who married into royals, especially commoners as some of them didn't know what life was like as a royal. Some of them probably think marrying a royal is cool, because they would be granted or inherited their husband/wife's jewelry, tiara and antique collection and being rich and famous with wearing glamorous fashion and waving through the crowd. But haven't they known that "being royal is a work", this quote is from Princess Anne for advising Meghan Markle. If you refuse to work as a royal, then you're probably struggling to live as a royal, especially when people know what you are doing, causing your fame to deteriorate.

If you are born as a royal, you'll probably be trained as a royal since you were a child. But sometimes royals would break the royal protocol or do something disgraceful, causing people to gossip or splash on the tabloids, make a big headline that day. Like Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein scandal. So that is why The Late Queen Elizabeth II stripped her son military title and HRH and isn't the senior royal or playing a public role anymore.

This was fair reporting. Something we don't see that often anymore. Thank you

[jackstraw]

Don’t forget “Uncle Dicky” and his penchant for young boys…

[buddhidev]

I think passing away of his royal husband devastated the late queen the most.

[sandyjoestes]

Geez, I am so tired of the press or media referring to
H & M as
“a young couple“ when they were approaching middle age, both in their LATE 30s when they met. Both of them were hardly “young” or implied innocence if you get my drift. The number of times either one of them has been “around the block” would be easily in the dozens. I’m sure. 🙄

[KateK]

The Queen and Prince Philip didn't deserve what Harry, Meghan, and Andrew did to them.

[sharonsimbeye]

The passing of Prince Philip hit the Queen very hard

[eugeniasyro]

An excellent documentary! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

[lisalking]

I loved Queen Elizabeth 😢 and i am praying for King Charles full recovery 🙏 ❤

[victoriaferris]

I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. It was well done, stated facts without taking sides.

[ninavongunten]

Needless to say, the Queen's golden years were an absolute Hell and did not deserve it.

Oh, boo hoo hoo. Life happens to all of us. Few of us have an army of servants and employees to lighten our loads while we work our way through the muck. The royals have no problem enjoying the perquisites of their privilege. Let them learn to handle the vicissitudes of life as well.
