Queen Mary of Tek is a Royal with a fascinating story - this documentary charts her history from being born into an indebted family of the British nobility, to losing her first fiance to an influenza pandemic, before marrying his brother and going on to become Queen Consort after being handpicked by Queen Victoria.

As Queen Consort to George V she was his most trusted adviser. And as mother to two Kings and grandmother to our current Queen, Mary had an influential hand in saving the monarchy. Her eldest son Edward VIII's abdication left her as the rock for the nation to turn to as a symbol of stability.

In this documentary Royal experts and historians reveal how Queen Mary's devotion to her duty and her country always came before personal emotions. Did her role in the Royal family have an influence on the modern day House of Windsor? Will we ever see the likes of Mary of Tek again? And what is her surprising, enduring legacy?
