The influence, wealth and image of King Charles and his fellow Royals is the focus of David Dimbleby's proving BBC1 documentary What's The Monarchy For?

Among the famous faces who David Dimbleby seeks insight from in What's The Monarchy For? is former British Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron.

After seeing Hollywood's recent take on the election of a Pope in the Oscar nominated movie Conclave, BBC2 offers a peek into the real election that took place this year in Secrets of the Conclave.

Pope Leo is the first American to be chosen as the leader of the Catholic Church but does the new BBC2 documentary Secrets of the Conclave shed enough light on the process that elected him?

FROM WINDSOR TO ROME: Two BBC documentaries purport to peel back the secrets of the #British #Monarchy & the #Papacy. So what does Pomona make of #DavidDimbleby's #WhatsTheMonarchyFor & #SecretsoftheConclave?.. loveitinpomona.blogspot.com/2025/12/from...

Loving Cardinal Tagle.
My money was on him to become Pope!

I am not surprised by the speed, we are in a different place than we were a century ago and before then. Four of the last five Popes were chosen within twenty seven hours of the start of the conclave #SecretsoftheConclave

I am struck by the serenity that some of the Cardinals say takes place during this process #SecretsoftheConclave

Unsurprisingly, I am watching #SecretsOfTheConclave
Absolutely fascinating.
And I’ve read the book, and seen the film!

Did the Cardinals who watched 'Conclave' sit there with pen and paper noting everything the film got wrong?
