RESTORATION: The British Royal Family at Work (PBS : 7 Parts)

Unlike in Absolute Monarchies, it is said that in Constitutional Monarchies, Royalties have more duties than privaledges. This seems to be the case for the British Royal Family. The Monarchy is often compared to a Firm with it’s set of rules and specific hierarchy, duties and jobs.

About the series:

In the year of her 80th birthday, Queen Elizabeth II granted the filmmakers of “Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work” an exclusive look inside the modern British monarchy. In this intimate series, viewers join Queen Elizabeth II and the rest of Britain’s most famous family as they travel abroad, work at the palace, and meet people from all walks of life. The program follows the Queen as she visits the first permanent British settlement in the U.S. and spends time with President Bush at the White House. The cameras also roll as she visits the newly democratic republic of Estonia — where no British monarch has set foot before. Back in England, the series goes inside Buckingham Palace for exclusive interviews with members of the royal family, preparations for elaborate formal occasions, and a behind-the-scenes look at the royal kitchens, the royal wine cellar, the royal car fleet and the jobs of footmen, ladies in waiting, the Yeoman of the Guard and the crown jeweler. “Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work” offers a glimpse behind the velvet curtain to reveal what life is really like as a member of the family firm.
