Season 1:
From the Tower of London to Hampton Court Palace, Dan Cruickshank reveals a story of buildings which cemented the monarch's claim to the throne.
Dan Cruickshank charts the arrival of a new style of palace, as British monarchs demanded that architecture proclaim their right to rule.
The interwar period was a difficult time for many of Britain's greatest palaces, but more recent times saw restoration and conservation on a new scale.
