The New Royals

An analysis of the trials of being an up-and-coming royal in the modern world and how being royal compares to being a celebrity. As the new millennium came and went, a new era dawned on the royal family. Increasingly they found themselves sharing the spotlight with a new aristocracy, that of celebrity pop stars like the Spice Girls and Madonna as well as world famous footballers and tennis players. The publics endless thirst for titillating gossip meant that the true royals have sometimes had to take a back seat to a number of seemingly flash-in-the-pan celebrity upstarts. This leads to a new royal lifestyle, one that may be more in touch with real life than that of newer and less royal celebrities. This DVD features English subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired.
