Four new 60-minute episodes return in 2024 for a second series of Sky History’s Royal Autopsy, presented by Professor Alice Roberts.
Following the success of the first series which examined the deaths of Queen Elizabeth I and King Charles II, the second series investigates the cause of death of four more British monarchs: Anne, Mary I, King Henry IV and George IV.
As she did in the first series, Professor Alice Roberts will bring her renowned historical insight and expertise to piece together the final dying days of these monarchs. In partnership with Home Office pathologist Dr Brett Lockyer, they use a unique combination of prosthetic bodies, actors, and ethically sourced animal organs in a graphic, ‘as-real’ autopsy to determine how each of them died.
