The Role Of The British Royal Family And Influence On Politics | Our History

This programme charts the ways in which the Monarchy has tried to act as the cement to bind together the diverse nations of the United Kingdom, sometimes successfully and sometimes unsuccessfully - Prince Charles for example, sports a leek on his left lapel as Prince of Wales and dons a kilt as Lord of the British Isles when in Scotland. The show recounts how a handbag caused trouble at the Queen's Scottish 'coronation', how the Royal Family divides the communities in Northern Ireland and examines the impact of devolution and the rise of Europe on the Monarchy.

This film was first broadcast: 20 Sep 1992
