A Royal Affair

They changed the nation forever

“A young queen, who is married to an insane king, falls secretly in love with his physician - and together they start a revolution that changes a nation forever.” A ROYAL AFFAIR is a gripping tale of brave idealists who risk everything in their pursuit of freedom for the people, but above all it is the story of a passionate and forbidden romance that changed an entire nation.
