Kings & Castles

Overview

John joins a host of foreign tourists who have come to Britain to enjoy our royalty, history and traditions. He finds out why they are so keen to see the Trooping of the Colour before joining a group of American ladies who have travelled all the way to the UK for Ascot’s Ladies Day. With their expectations based on classic scenes from My Fair Lady, they find an event which isn’t quite as ‘classy’ as they were hoping. John joins the Edwards family from Orlando to stay overnight in Chillingham Castle, reputedly the most haunted castle in the world. He find out why such a scary ordeal draws tourists from the other side of the world. Next on John’s tourist trail is a visit to the Royal Suite at The Lanesborough in London where wealthy tourists stay if they want to live like a king. The huge rooms face out towards Buckingham Palace, so the location is as exclusive as they come.
