- On 9th September 2015, Queen Elizabeth II became the longest-serving British monarch. One of the most enduring images of her coronation in 1953 is that of Her Majesty surrounded by her dukes. Their influence once extended beyond the merely ceremonial, they were a crucial part of the architecture that supported the monarchy. Only 24 noble dukes now remain and this documentary - with unique access to the dukes of Norfolk, Argyll, Montrose and Marlborough - explores both the fascinating history and function of their great dukedoms in modern day Britain.

Imagine being able to touch and move every piece at a museum because it's
When that lady actually found the knife she was talking about, the realization of how much time she spent living there, in such a beautiful home, hit me.
Her parents are in the afterlife screaming, "I told you 400 times to leave that dagger alone!"
The Duke of Atholl is one of the most humble people I’ve ever seen. God bless him!
She knew exactly where that Dagger was 👥😂😂
That moment when you forget what titles you have
I just love that first old dutchess, everything about her is just like so casual, "No we didn't discuss it" 😂
The way they were handling the robes, and storing them in plastic in the attic was making the conservator in me scream and writhe in pain.
If I was walking around with that many titles, I'd have a note card in my wallet to remind me of what the hell they were
The Duchess at the end is very smart at ensuring the financial stability of her family. Well done.
My wife’s grandfather is heir apparent to an Earldom (also a viscount?) when his older, childless brother dies. Both men are in their early 80’s. Next in line is my wife’s uncle, who has no sons. Next after that is my wife’s younger uncle who is currently living on the streets of Vancouver, Canada.
"I dont know if were allowed to do this but..."

bless you lady Rosemary,i had to get home because my mother was roasting an ox,i almost died when you said that.what a lovely woman.
"In a house like this you don't want a bunch of midgets running about". Absolutely pissing myself laughing at this.
I would not be surprised if that small central London Terrace is worth more than the Scottish Castle
"I'm here because of an accident of birth, and I didn't do anything to deserve this huge privilege" - one of the few rich people who is not self entitled, I like this man's modesty.
" The ermine is looking very unhappy " must be the best quote in this video.
The duke of Atholl is very humble. That's very rare to see when it comes to aristocracy and quite nice. During the army games the Duchess is wearing jeans!! That's gotta be a first.
