David Dimbleby asks fundamental questions about the monarchy
About This Program
With recent events having put the royal family under the spotlight, David Dimbleby probes politicians and insiders on fundamental questions about the institution at the heart of the nation. He begins by questioning how much power and influence the monarch really has. It is said that kings and queens should be politically neutral but is that true? And in a world where political leaders are continually under attack, what role is there for an unelected head of state? Contributors include David Cameron and Jacob Rees-Mogg
