- Today, few people's clothes attract as much attention as the royal family, but this is not a modern-day paparazzi-inspired obsession.

Exploring the royal wardrobes of our kings and queens over the last four hundred years, Lucy shows this isn't just a public fascination, but an important and powerful message from the monarchs.
