A new documentary is now live on the channel.
This week we follow five generations of the Pulitzer family: the 17 year old who arrived in New York as a paid substitute soldier, the newspaper he built into the most read in America, the court case his sons brought to break his will, and the sale that ended the family's newspapers for good. The prize outlived everything they created.

New video's up, this one traces Empress Sisi's four children through the losses that shaped the Habsburg dynasty: a daughter who died in her mother's arms, a son whose death at Mayerling stayed sealed in the archives for over sixty years, and the two daughters whose very different lives outlasted them both.

New documentary now live.
In 1909, a private syndicate bought 47,000 acres of dry valley floor, 4 years before the city's water reached it. The men behind it also owned the newspaper that told Los Angeles how to vote.
This week's film follows the Chandler dynasty from that purchase to the sale that ended it, and asks how a family whose name meant Los Angeles itself disappeared so completely.
If this is the kind of history you enjoy, subscribing helps you catch each new release. Thank you for being here.

A new documentary is now live on the channel.
This week I tell the story of Nerissa and Katherine Bowes Lyon, two women from one of Britain's grandest families who were quietly placed in a Surrey institution in 1941 and later recorded as dead in the pages of Burke's Peerage, while both were still very much alive. It is a story about privilege, silence, and a record that took forty years to correct.
If you enjoy long form history like this, I would be glad to have you with us. Please consider subscribing so you do not miss what is coming next. Thank you for watching, and for being here.

Part Two of our Duke of Windsor series looks at the Paris household between 1953 and 1972, and at the servants who saw the marriage from the inside. Chief among them was Sydney Johnson, the Bahamian valet who dressed the Duke for more than thirty years and was dismissed shortly after his death.

A new video is now live on the channel.
This week tells the haunting story of Maria Feodorovna, the last Empress of Russia, who refused for ten years to believe that her son, Tsar Nicholas II, and his family had died in the revolution.
If you enjoy stories of royalty, old money, and dynastic tragedy, I think you will find this one unforgettable. Please subscribe if you have not yet, and thank you for your continued support.
Either works well. Option 1 leans a little more inviting, Option 2 is tighter if you want subscribers to read it at a glance.

A new documentary is now live on the channel.
Now we tell the story of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, the last Empress of Russia. Remembered as a devoted mother and a martyr, she was also one of the most distrusted figures at the Romanov court. Our new film traces the decisions she made between 1914 and 1917 and asks whether she broke the throne, or simply held it when it fell.
If you enjoy long form royal history, please subscribe so you never miss a new release. Thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy this one.

A new documentary arrives soon on Old Money Explorer.
She was the most beautiful bride in Europe, and within months of her wedding she understood the kind of husband she had been given. For 47 years Queen Alexandra shared Edward VII with his mistresses, and at the very end she allowed the last of them to his deathbed. We trace what that long grace cost her, and why a queen chose never to fight a war she knew she would lose in public.
Keep an eye on the channel and turn on notifications so you do not miss it when it goes live.

Before there was Diana, there was Anna Wallace. In 1980, the future King of England proposed to the Scottish landowner's daughter the press had nicknamed "Whiplash Wallace." She turned him down. And not quietly either.
Our newest video has just gone live, and it tells the full story of the woman who walked away from Prince Charles at his own ball, eleven years before the wedding the world thought it knew everything about.
Thank you for being part of this channel. Head over to the homepage to watch it now, and let us know what you make of her in the comments.
