Highgrove: The King’s Country Home on SBS and SBS on Demand – Highgrove House is a very different kind of royal residence.
Hidden away in the Cotswolds and surrounded by around 1000 acres of land, the once unimpressive country house was chosen by the King to be his private family home.
Unlike the many priceless royal palaces and castles that have been in the family for centuries, Highgrove is his alone and was bought in 1980 for less than 1 million pounds – a royal fixer upper that’s been transformed by the King into a favourite place to get away from it all
This documentary takes us inside the world of this 18th Century Georgian country house, revealing what’s inside, what goes on behind closed doors and the incredible transformation that lies behind the high security walls and elegant yew hedges that now surround it.
