Royal Autopsy

Professor Alice Roberts presents a new investigation into the deaths of Queen Elizabeth I and King Charles II in the original series Royal Autopsy. Each episode follows a detailed ‘as real’ autopsy - led by forensic pathologist Dr Brett Lockyer - which uses a combination of prosthetic bodies and actors alongside detailed historical research in order to reach a conclusion. Using eyewitness accounts sourced from the time of their deaths, the final dying days of these historic figures are brought to life with premium scripted dramatic scenes, starring Mark Wingett as Charles II and Linda Marlowe as Elizabeth I.
