The Death of the Prince Imperial Written and narrated by JOHN JULIUS NORWICH
In the summer of 1879 the much-loved son of the Emperor Napoleon III went out with the British army to fight against the Zulus. Ambushed outside a Zulu kraal, the Prince Imperial, heir to the throne of France, was hacked to death by Zulu assegais. The man court-martialled for allowing this atrocity was a Lieutenant Carey. Victorian England was shocked by the death and even more so by the establishment's attempt to make Carey a scapegoat.
The precise events leading up to that fatal day are retold at the very place in Zululand and the transcript of the court martial, only recently available to the public, is used to dramatise extracts from the trial-and reveal the dramatic outcome.
