Lisbeth Kjær leads a five-part lecture series on royal history, with stories from bygone courts told alongside pictures. Each session covers a different chapter: how Denmark found its next king after Frederik VII had no children, the tangled succession politics of the British royal family before Queen Victoria's coronation, the close ties between the Russian tsars and Germany shaped by strict marriage rules, and the three families waiting in the wings for a French return to monarchy.
The sessions are relaxed and conversational, and there is time afterwards to talk about the events over a cup of coffee. The series ends with a Christmas closing session featuring a quiz and festive atmosphere.
