Episode 1

In this episode, we discover how Windsor today is a bit like an upmarket housing Estate, with Charles and Camilla in the castle itself and Kate and William and Prince Andrew and Fergie residing in the grounds. You can hardly move for Royals when it comes to the Windsor Estate.

We turn back the clock to discover how the castle transformed from humble beginnings as a defensive tower, to become the palace of one of the most indulgent monarchs in history – Henry VIII, and then his daughter Elizabeth I. Under Henry's tenure there were outrageous goings-on in the King's Windsor bedroom as Henry paid secret visits to his mistress, Anne Boleyn.

We become intimately acquainted with Tudor royal protocol, finding out about the duties of a surprising member of castle staff: the Groom of the Stool, who dealt with the King's toilet habits.

We discover how when Elizabeth I moved in she introduced some of the latest trends to Windsor and spent a fortune modernising.

We discover King Charles' simple Windsor mealtime preferences and exactly what was eaten by the gluttonous Henry hundreds of years earlier when they expected nothing less than a staggering 40 dishes a day, ranging from the more familiar game and venison, to roasted peacock, swan, and even beaver's tails.

Beyond the Gates

Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
