Money
Season 2 Episode 5
Suzannah Lipscomb explores some shocking incidents of epic royal spending. She examines how Queen Elizabeth I insisted on taking her whole court, and most of her servants, with her on tours of her kingdom, despite the huge expense. Suzannah also investigates why in 1821 the coronation of King George IV was so expensive that it put an end to the 1000-year tradition of lavish post coronation feasts
