Royals at War

Royals at War examines the strategies used by the royal families of Europe during World War II in the face of increasingly powerful nationalist parties. Connected by family ties, the Royals witnessed the rise to power of Fascism and Nazism and found themselves, willingly or not, at the centre of Hitler’s political scheming. The two episodes recount the various families’ ambiguous and difficult dealings with these untrustworthy powers. After long procrastination, when war finally broke out, each royal family had to make a crucial decision for their country: whether to resist or collaborate. (Mediawan)
