Keshet International and Caledonia TV are looking to partner with a British broadcast on “Hitler’s Favorite Royals” before launching pre-sales at MIPCOM, the annual trade show for the television industry held in Cannes, France, that will take place in October. The series is being produced by Caledonia TV.

“From Queen Victoria’s dynastic ties to Germany to Hitler’s attempts to leverage those connections during World War II, the series will expose secret meetings, coded correspondence, and covert diplomacy between London and Berlin,” according to a description of the docuseries provided by KI. “With newly uncovered evidence and expert insight, it reveals how these links were later concealed through buried archives and suppressed records, shining new light on the monarchy’s entanglement with Nazi Germany.”

“Hitler’s Favorite Royals” is being executive produced by award-winning producer and historian Dean Palmer. The docuseries will be created based on Palmer’s 2021 book, Tea with Hitler: The Secret History of the Royal Family and the Third Reich, as well as research with the University of London of new archival materials. KI’s SVP of Acquisitions and Co-production Anke Stoll said the “extensive research and access to new archive materials adds layers of extra color, depth and detail to what we already think we know about the Royal Family’s connections to Hitler and the Nazis.”

“This series rips the lid off one of the monarchy’s darkest secrets – what the Queen’s German cousins did during World War II and their ties to Hitler,” said Palmer.
