Princes In The Tower: A Damning Discovery on SBS and SBS on Demand – Summer, 1483. Two princes are brought to the Tower of London under the protection of their uncle, Richard, Duke of Gloucester.
A few weeks later they disappear without a trace. The mystery of what happened to the princes in the Tower is one of the most infamous and shocking unsolved crimes in English history. Were these boys, aged just 9 and 12, murdered? And if so, by whom?
Now historian Tracy Borman and BAFTA winning actor Jason Watkins are on a mission to discover what happened to the missing princes.
Jason travels to Ludlow Castle in Shropshire to find out how young prince Edward V was trained to be king, before he treads the boards as Richard III to get inside the enigmatic monarch’s mind.
Tracy visits the room in Westminster Abbey where the princes’ family fled for sanctuary and analyses the bones of two children discovered at the Tower in the 1600s – could they be the lost princes?
