An exploration of the hidden influence of royal nannies and governesses on generations of the British monarchy, the trusted caretakers who raised heirs to the throne, shaped royal childhoods, and left lasting marks on the personalities, values, and futures of Britain’s most powerful family – and what happens when that influence goes too far.
Drawing on rare archive and revealing interviews with expert historians, biographers and childcarers, this insightful film uncovers the hidden power of royal nannies — and the personal sacrifices they made in devoting their lives to raising other people’s children.
