The documentary offers a look at Queen Elizabeth II, her parents and grandparents, and her own heirs, from Charles (and his marriage to Diana) through young Princes Harry and William and beyond.

It also looks at what it means to enter this rarefied world from the outside, starting with Princess Diana and more recently the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine Middleton.
Featuring contributions from those close to the Royal Family, former employees, historians and Royal observers and photographers, Born To Royalty examines what it means to be raised in the aristocracy.
