PRINCES IN THE TOWER: A DAMMING DISCOVERY

The Princes in the Tower: A Damning Discovery is a documentary that delves into the enduring mystery surrounding the disappearance of Edward V and his brother Richard of Shrewsbury in 1483. Presented by actor Jason Watkins, the program features historian Tracy Borman and introduces new evidence uncovered by Professor Tim Thornton.

Professor Thornton discovered a 1516 will bequeathing a chain belonging to Edward V to Sir Giles, the son of Lady Margaret Capell. Lady Margaret was connected to Sir James Tyrell, who has historically been implicated in the princes' disappearance. This finding suggests a direct link between Tyrell and the royal family, lending credence to theories implicating Richard III in the princes' presumed murder.

The documentary combines dramatic reenactments with expert analysis, aiming to shed new light on this historical enigma.
