Inside Balmoral, the most secretive estate of the British royal family.

It’s difficult to think of a giant royal estate that covers 50,000 acres as a private getaway, but for the British royal family, that’s what Balmoral is.  This episode examines life at the Highland estate between 1992 and 2017, in the aftermath of the infamous "annus horribilis," when Queen Elizabeth had retreated to Balmoral. The Royal family had endured one of their worst years, and with a republican feeling growing in the country, many felt they must adapt.
