Seven has added 4 part UK documentary series Inside The Crown: Secrets of the Royals to its Tuesday night schedule.
The programming move follows a recent trend of networks using Royal content to fill holes in broadcast schedules due to Covid shutdowns.
The series which premiered earlier this year in the UK tells the inside story of the royal family and the Queen’s record-breaking reign.
The first episode focuses on the conflict between love and duty that faces the royals – and which has occasionally threatened to bring down the House of Windsor. Edward VIII fatefully chose love when he abdicated to marry divorcee Wallis Simpson. Charles chose duty when he married Diana. The Queen, however, has managed to find a balance, maintaining a long marriage while becoming the longest-serving monarch.
Episode 2 explores the Royal Family’s rollercoaster relationship with the press, from the Queen’s commonwealth tour to the impact of Princess Diana.
