The Three Kings of 1936 (2026)

Directed by Jonathan Mayo

Documentary, History · 1h 07m

A compelling and detailed documentary exploring the extraordinary and turbulent events of 1936 for the British monarchy-a pivotal year that saw three different kings sit on the throne in quick succession: the aging King George V, the controversial and short-lived Edward VIII, and the duty-bound George VI. Through painstakingly restored archival imagery and expert analysis, the film brings to life the constitutional crisis and personal dramas that reshaped the House of Windsor and the future of the United Kingdom forever.
