Through state-of-the-art reconstruction based on contemporaneous medical records, ‘Royal Autopsy’ presents a unique investigation into the cause of death of two of Britain\u2019s most famous and historically significant monarchs: King Charles II (d. 6th<\/sup> February, 1685) and Queen Elizabeth I (d. 24th<\/sup> March, 1603).\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In each episode, anatomist and biological anthropologist, Professor Alice Roberts joins Home Office Pathologist, Dr Brett Lockyer, to conduct autopsy simulations on each of the monarchs using a blend of prosthetic bodies, actors, toxicology testing and forensic analysis. Their findings, together with Professor Roberts\u2019 interpretation of historical eyewitness accounts, shed startling new light on their final days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a television first and with a combination of historical evidence and modern medical expertise, Professor Roberts and Dr Lockyer uncover the secrets and explore the theories regarding the causes behind the monarchs\u2019 deaths who died over 300 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Alice Roberts said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIn this series, we employ historical research, forensic pathology, and special effects to achieve something which has never been done before: a twenty-first century autopsy on a long-dead monarch. Teaming up with brilliant forensic pathologist Dr Brett Lockyer, I take a fresh look at these cold cases and discover insights into disease and medicine, life, and death in the past. In each case, we dug into the evidence \u2013 and we weren\u2019t afraid to draw our own conclusions about the cause of death.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The final days of these historic figures are brought to life in vivid detail with premium scripted dramatic scenes, directed by Paul Olding<\/a> (Wonders of the Solar System) and starring Mark Wingett<\/a> (‘Snow White and The Huntsman’; ‘The Bill’) as Charles II and Linda Marlowe<\/a> (‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’; ‘EastEnders’) as Elizabeth I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Royal Autopsy<\/em><\/strong> premieres on Sky HISTORY on Tuesday 7th<\/sup> February. Sky HISTORY is available on Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk and streaming service NOW.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
