Thank you for the hint - great stuff

Great! What about if you wanted to see in the states livestream through this website? I went on the website but didn't understand much just that there will be many series coming up.

[Selene]

I don't know if there'll be a livestream of the show in the internet. It is unfortunatley not a common thing in Germany. Maybe you can see the video later on the webpage, like on the next day. But as far as I know the ZDF they just do it with talkshows and famous guests.

Maybe someone can record and upload it? Unfortunately I don't have a DVD-Recorder.

Edit: I found something more: In the upper right corner, in the grey box, there is the word "ZDFmediathek" written. If you click on that button you'll be leaded to some videos and on the bottom it says "Live-Videos". Maybe they'll have a livestream. Let's hope for our foreign royal-fans;-)

What a pity that there is no section about Prince Philipp of Belgium and Princess Mathilde of Belgium! It would be nice to hear about them!

Mette-Marit, Letizia, Mary and Máxima aren't "Königskinder" either... but they could show a docu about Prince Philip.
Well, sadly they don't.

That is true. Apparently ZDF thinks there is nothing worth mentioning about the Duke and Duchess of Brabant.

They also miss other royal families like Luxembourg or Jordan or Japan, etc.

I'm happy they haven't included Monaco. Rightly so: neither Andrea nor Pierre nore Charlotte Casiraghi are Königskinder.

[Elspeth]

According to the OP, it's a series about Europe's next generation of royals, which is probably why they aren't including Jordan or Japan.

Prinz und Rebell William von England???

Looks like some creative marketing going on.

Lazy TV evening saved! Hurray! What else can someone do when the thermometer says 30,6 C - INSIDE !!! I always liked the ZDF's specials on Royalty. They are good with that.

"Monarchien müssen populär sein"

Interview with Guido Knopp about the docu (in german).

[milla Ca]

Sunday night i could watch the first part ( a kind of summary ) from the TV docu ´Königskinder´. I´m sorry to say that the part about the British Royals ( specially about the Princes William and Harry ) was really miserable.
Nothing new, but much old stuff and the repeat of the same Diana - Camilla stories we all know for long, and some gossip i would expect in tabloids but not in a TV docu.
I have to say, Guido Knopp doesn´t make a good job here, i would always prefer TV docus from Rolf Seelmann- Eggebert, he is a real expert of the British Monarchy!
( But i can´t judge the docus of Knopp about other Royal Houses)

[sandra1]

i see the docu too and i think the title is not good refined. the docu is only about the crown princess and prince.but about this we know all. when i hear the first time about the docu i hope it is about all real princess and prince ( madeleine, christina, elena, märtha louise and other).

[principessa]

I am looking for the part of tomorrow. I ask me, if they will show new pictures of Princess Ariane.

[pumkin pie]

OMG I had to cry so much. Maxima and WA are such a strong couple. And the wedding... and the tango that was played during the ceremony,...so many details I haven't heard before. It was all a bit much for my sensitve soul.

[asturiana]

The tv docu about Maxima and WA was great!
