Quest for an Heir
Centuries ago, it was the “pleasure palace” of Henry VIII. Today, Hampton Court is one of the most popular and best-preserved Tudor palaces on Earth. But what does it take to keep this remarkable institution running in the 21st century? Join us as we go behind the scenes and follow the team of warders, gardeners, and “grooms” who care for the palace, the grounds, and the Court’s team of rare Shire horses. Then discover little-known stories of the kings and queens who lived and died here as we tour the palace’s lost rooms and unique spaces.
