They've got a globe used for hundreds of years to teach geography...

and it shows California as a squiggle in the Pacific. That's the kind of historical perspective we are privy to in SECRETS OF ALTHORP - THE SPENCERS. Nineteen generations of Spencers, one of Britain's most eminent aristocratic dynasties, have lived for over 500 years at Althorp -- childhood home to the much beloved Diana, Princess of Wales, whose life is celebrated in an exhibition featuring some of her famous outfits. Her final resting place is a simple island in the middle of the lake marked by a memorial urn. The house has witnessed joys and tragedies and the estate is now in the hands of Diana's brother Charles the 9th Earl Spencer. He gives us a personal tour around this magnificent manor that is still very much a family home. For a fascinating look at royal life beyond the pond, catch SECRETS OF ALTHORP - THE SPENCERS...Sunday night at 7pm.
