Guarding The Queen

Season 1 Episode 1: Episode 1

In this first of three episodes, the Queen invites the Guards to a party at Windsor Castle to celebrate 350 years of guarding the monarch. At the same time, 17-year-old Steven Cooper is fighting the cold during basic training in Scotland. Should he make it through, a world of pomp awaits him, shaped by ceremonies, between royalty, tourists, marching bands, and boot wax. The show shows Cooper donning his bearskin hat and taking his place at the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace for the first time. "This is Disneyland for Brits," as one American viewer put it.
