Classics · 3 Jan 2012 · 57 min iTunes
S1, E1: After World War I, King George V turned out to be a remarkable innovator, creating the House of Windsor and embracing democratic reform.

By contrast, he had a loving relationship with his granddaughter, and much of Queen Elizabeth's style and commitment to duty can be traced back to this early influence.
