What if the monarch's eldest daughters - instead of their sons - had been crowned throughout history? This week on The Royal Beat: Back in Time we ask exactly that. Kate Thornton is joined by historians Dr Fern Riddell, Kate McCaffrey and author of 'Regina, The Queens Who Could Have Been' Emily Murdoch Perkins. From the wildly independent daughter of a medieval King to the woman who launched the Tudor dynasty, and also a Victorian Princess who could have changed the fate of Europe, our experts uncover the lives of these royal women who were never crowned.

The Windsors: Love, Theft and Jewels
On this week's episode of The Royal Beat: Back in Time, we look at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor through a new lens, as we explore their love of all things opulent and expensive - especially jewels. But where exactly did their enviable collection of precious stones come from? Did the Duke - as King Edward VIII - take them from the royal collection to give to Wallis Simpson? How did so many come to be stolen in a house robbery in 1946? And where did their incredible gems end up after their deaths? Kate Thornton examines these questions and many more along with Richard Wallace - author of new book ‘The King’s Loot: The Greatest Royal Jewellery Heist in History’, as well as biographer and author of 'That Woman', Anne Sebba, and Managing Director and Co-Founder of Europe's largest online diamond retailer, 77 Diamonds - Tobias Kormind.
