🎧 Dan Snow's History Hit • 30m
Dan teams up with his parents and esteemed journalists Peter Snow and Ann MacMillan to explore the lives, loves, triumphs and disasters of a monarchy that is the envy of the world.

Their new book is called 'Kings and Queens: The Real Lives of Monarchs'
Produced by Dan Snow and edited by Dougal Patmore.
