In the shadows of World War II, a hidden chapter of British history unfolded behind palace walls. Far from fearing Adolf Hitler, many within the British royal establishment viewed Nazism as the future, capable of halting the spread of Communism and preserving Britain’s global empire.
This three-part historical docuseries uncovers the extraordinary story of the British monarchy’s complex and controversial connections to Nazi Germany.
From Queen Victoria’s plan to marry her family into Germany’s royal dynasties, to Hitler’s attempts to forge a covert alliance through those familial ties, this series reveals a world of backchannel diplomacy, secret meetings, and coded correspondence between London and Berlin.
As Europe edged toward war, these links were systematically hidden through buried archives, destroyed photographs, and suppressed letters. Drawing on newly uncovered evidence and expert insight, Hitler’s Favourite Royals brings to light a little-known narrative at the intersection of power, politics, and royal legacy.
