Why are certain royal babies christened in holy water imported from the River Jordan? And why would Princes be required to wear shorts until the age of eight? The British Royal Family has a number of obscure (and sometimes strange) protocols and this regal documentary aims to unearth and explore them. What are the reasons for these outdated and unusual procedures?
