| Summary: | The little-known story of Prince John, the youngest child of George V and Queen Mary, whose short life spanned one of the most momentous periods in history - the political build-up to the First World War and the machinations of European royalty in the early part of the 20th Century. This drama tells the very human story of a unique family and an extraordinary boy. Diagnosed as an epileptic, and suffering from autistic-like learning difficulties, Prince John was unable to participate in public life and became increasingly isolated from his family. This visually stunning and richly stimulating landmark drama recounts his life, from the struggles of growing up in the most unconventional circumstances, to the strength he drew from the unfailing support of his devoted Nanny.
