3/7. Orb and Spectre? The monarchy's much-vaunted virtues of tradition and continuity will be celebrated next year on the Queen's 80th birthday. But beyond the respect enjoyed by the sovereign, what are the principles that will guide the monarchy's future? At a time when the monarchy seems more mundane than magical, Richard Weight asks whether it can embody a nation, inspire loyalty and prevent popular indifference.
Producer Simon Coates Repeated on Sunday at 9.30pm
