Throughout history, the British Royal Family has been expected to do its duty and fight alongside their citizens in time of war. As this compelling documentary illustrates the Windsors are no different. Looking back at the Second World War, Prince Philip’s extraordinary exploits with the British Navy are revealed, while Queen Elizabeth defied her father to serve her country.

Just as the Queen and Prince Philip had served their country during World War II, the next generation of royals were expected to do their duty. But, as this documentary reveals, the results were mixed. Prince Andrew discusses his stint in the Falklands War and describes what it's really like to confront your own mortality. While Prince Edward's decision to quit his marine training is investigated.

As well as having to deal with the dangers of modern warfare, the current crop of Royals have also had to tackle another enemy: the press. As this thought-provoking documentary reveals, Prince Harry saw active duty in Afghanistan, until his exact location was leaked by the press. His brother Prince William also put his life on the line in the perilous air-sea rescue service.
