Royal blood has never guaranteed a peaceful death, and this show proves it one buried scandal at a time. Behind every crown lies a ledger of betrayal, and Royal Stories opens that ledger wide to reveal the true cost of royalty.

Each episode reconstructs one complete, real story from the history of royalty, told with the kind of forensic detail you rarely get in a textbook footnote. There is no host chatting in your ear, no studio banter, just a fully narrated account of a single reign, a single murder, a single coin minted to buy loyalty from a fragile royalty. You will hear how a Cornish tyrant killed at his own altar and slept easy afterward, how a forgotten king simply purchased England with silver pennies instead of fighting for it, and how a son's ambition unraveled an empire his father spent a lifetime building. A duke's severed head mounted on Micklegate Bar, wearing a mocking paper crown, becomes not a footnote but a full hour of consequence and cruelty within the wider story of royalty.

The throne is the constant obsession here, but the show wanders freely through everything that surrounds it: the kings and queens who inherited a royalty they couldn't control, the royal family feuds that toppled dynasties, and the quieter scandals of royalty hidden inside private letters and gold coinage. You'll meet a queen who stamped her father's face on currency only to watch her royalty collapse under her, a beach-landing pretender who bought his crown with borrowed soldiers, and a monarch who hid her most private life inside a clenched fist for decades.

This is royalty stripped of the pageantry and left with the plotting, the debts, and the bodies. If you're drawn to the true mechanics of power, not the fairy tale version, subscribe to Royal Stories and get a new reign of royalty to dismantle every week.Copyright OBOMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT Mondiale

  • A royal vote stripped a palace and sent a king into exile

    A royal vote stripped a palace and sent a king into exile
    Oct 20 2026
    A king born in the palace hands over the keys - how does a monarch fall so far from power?

    A royal vote stripped a palace and sent a king into exile

    In this episode, we follow the moments that turned a lifelong royal life into an abrupt public stripping of state power and property. We trace the votes, the palace rooms, and the public chants that suggest the story was never simple - what does survival mean for a man born to rule?

    Person: Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev
    Event: Constituent Assembly vote abolishing the monarchy
    Date: May 28, 2008 (abolition) / June 11, 2008 (handing over keys)
    Location: Narayanhiti Palace, Kathmandu, Nepal
    Period: Shah dynasty rule of 240 years

    - Born king at age three after King Tribhuvan fled, Gyanendra's first reign lasted 55 days before being erased.
    - He grew up the spare: educated at Tribhuvan University, married in 1970, and led the King Tribhuvan Trust for Nature Conservation.
    - On June 1, 2001, nine members of the royal family were shot in Narayanhiti Palace; an investigation concluded Crown Prince Dipendra acted alone.
    - After decades inside palace protocol, Gyanendra left the palace on June 11, 2008, handed keys to a government clerk, and the palace became a museum.
    - In February 2025, crowds chanted "King must come to save the country," signaling continued public engagement with the monarchy.

  • The chamberlain who sealed every door and toppled a queen

    The chamberlain who sealed every door and toppled a queen
    Oct 19 2026
    A queen in her forties inherits a throne; her chamberlain controls every door - one marriage contract turns palace access into a trap. How do you fall from that high?

    The chamberlain who sealed every door and toppled a queen

    In this episode, we follow Joanna of Naples from dynastic waiting-room to contested crown, watching how access, marriage contracts, and a single favorite reshape power inside Castel Nuovo. What happens when control of the antechamber becomes the kingdom's greatest vulnerability?

    Person: Joanna the Second
    Person: Pandolfello Piscopo (Alopo)
    Person: James of Bourbon, Count of La Marche
    Location: Castel Nuovo, Naples
    Date: 1414-1419

    - Joanna inherits a throne that is a claim contested by French Angevins, Aragonese, the Papacy, and local barons.
    - Pandolfello Piscopo rises to Grand Chamberlain and effectively controls who enters the queen’s presence.
    - Joanna rules for five years before a delayed coronation formalizes her contested legitimacy in 1419.
    - A revived marriage contract promises James of Bourbon the Principality of Taranto, a key political bargaining chip.
    - Within months of arriving, James moves against Alopo, leading to the chamberlain’s arrest and execution.

  • The wine Cyrus left on the steppe that toppled his empire

    The wine Cyrus left on the steppe that toppled his empire
    Oct 18 2026
    A steppe queen refuses a marriage that would hand her people to Cyrus the Great, then watches him leave wine on the steppe - and a son rides into it.

    The wine Cyrus left on the steppe that toppled his empire

    In this episode, we follow the confrontation between Cyrus the Great and Tomyris of the Massagetae, from a marriage proposal to an ambush on the open steppe. What choices did both rulers make when diplomacy failed, and how did an unfamiliar bottle of wine change the course of a campaign?

    Person: Cyrus the Great
    Person: Tomyris
    Person: Spargapises
    Date: 530 BC
    Location: Araxes River / Massagetaean steppe

    - Cyrus proposes marriage to Tomyris as a political move to absorb the Massagetae without war.
    - Tomyris rejects the proposal and sends a second message urging Cyrus to spare her kingdom.
    - Cyrus builds a bridge across the Araxes and sets a deserted, well-provisioned camp on the open steppe.
    - A third of the Massagetaean advance force, led by Spargapises, enters the Persian camp and consumes unfamiliar wine.
    - The Persians return to find a camp of incapacitated Massagetaean soldiers and capture Spargapises alive.
