This really was excellent. It was on Sky History and is available from Sky download/catchup.
Copy and paste:
'Royal Mob' was the term Queen Victoria used to describe her huge, extended family, which comprised of 9 children, 42 grandchildren, and 87 great-grandchildren. Through the eyes of her four favourite granddaughters - the beautiful and strong-willed Hesse sisters - Royal Mob reveals the family rivalries that led to the outbreak of the First World War.
Across four episodes, the show tells the story of the princesses who carried the burden of dynastic survival on their shoulders, in a high-stakes world where power determined who would inherit a continent.
Interwoven with the drama is analysis from several historical experts to give context and ultimate credibility to what is being played out on screen.
