Reviews

“Fabulous . . . Fascinating.” — The Boston Globe

"Naturally, the archival footage is wonderful, as is the noble (yet unobtrusive) voice of narrator Janet Suzman. Ultimately, The Windsors leaves you wishing that these particular royals were truly worthy of such splendidly royal treatment." — Variety

"Anglophiles will lap it up." — USA Today

". . . this miniseries . . . should find an appreciative audience amongst Anglophiles . . . it is refreshing to see a serious and balanced study of an institution that may be on the brink of extinction. Recommended." — Video Librarian
