“Secrets of the Royal Kitchen”
Friday, December 1 at 9pm ET & PT / 8pm CT
Former Royal Chef Graham Newbould reveals what goes on in the kitchens of the famous House of Windsor. From TV suppers at Buckingham Palace, to poached salmon caught and cooked at the Royal Family’s Scotland retreat at Balmoral, Graham shows the viewers how to cook food fit for a Queen, or for that matter, a Prince. He goes back on board the Royal Yacht Britannia, where he makes good use of the Royal ice cream machine, and even recreates the wedding breakfast he helped serve up for the Prince and Princess of Wales. Newbould also delivers a fascinating insight into everyday Palace cuisine – from eight sided cucumber sandwiches to a special dish of liver and rice, a firm favorite with the ever-present Royal corgis.
“The Madness of Prince Charles”
Saturday, December 2 at 9pm ET & PT / 8pm CT
For 56 years, Prince Charles has been the king in waiting, heir to the throne of England. Has the wait been too long and did his upbringing have something to do with his unconventional ideas? In this program, we examine his controversial ideas on architecture - nothing too modern please - on medicine, and on religion. We examine how many of them stem from Carl Jung, Freud's rival. Where Freud believed sex was the great motive in life, Jung believed that the spirit mattered more than the body – that his unconscious is full of spirits and demons. Jung also believed that a married man could have a mistress. “The Madness of Prince Charles” examines Charles’ faith in alternative medicine and his adherence to a diet which involves liquidized fruit and vegetables, coffee enemas that prevent cancer and even conversations with his fruit! As for religion, he believes in the so-called 'perennial philosophy,' a set of esoteric spiritual beliefs. But the King or Queen of England has been 100% Church of England since 1534, when Henry VIII awarded himself the title of Defender of the Faith. Charles flirts with Islam, Sikhism and regularly visits the Greek orthodox monasteries on Mount Athos. Is the Prince really “mad” or is the Church of England just stuck in its old ways?
