TV Royal February & March 2017 – update 28 March

All over the world tv-channels broadcast programmes about or even with nobles and royals. I will try to post a list here weekly, and update when I find something during the week. As it is impossible to check all channels I have listed the channels I have access to myself, and will include anything else I find online. Some channels might allow online Live TV access. Times are the local ones, thus Europe is CET, UK is GMT. Be aware there can always be last minute changes. If you have any additions, I would be very happy if you could react to this post and give the details.

WEEK 13

Keep an eye on the Danish TV channels DR and TV2, or the website of Billed-Bladet, because of the Belgian state visit from 28 to 30 March. Some things might be shown online.
