It might look like a fairytale romance between two lovers - but beneath a thin veneer of glamor and opulence, lies a network of vast hidden wealth, corruption and violence, coursing across the globe.
This is the true story of the epic greed, unstoppable lust, and dark conspiracies that brought the Spanish royal family to its knees. It’s about the fragile myths that modern royalties rely on to survive, and what happens when a nation’s people stop believing them.
