It's off to Paris then, where Tracy gets to hear about the private life the 'Sun King' - the man who believed that the rest of France revolved around him. She hears the truth about the Palace of Versailles - outwardly sumptuous and glorious, actually filthy and stinking. What were the real reasons for the King's love of clothes and perfumes and wigs? Tracy finds out. She also discovers more about King Louis' tangled love life, extravagant lifestyle and extraordinary vanity....

And so finally, Tracy explores the private life of England's most famous monarch - the handsome, athletic prince who eventually became the archetypal tyrant king. But why and how did it happen? Tracy explains as she tells of Henry's turbulent romances and marriages, the less than glamorous but highly sought after job as Groom of the Stool and the king's journey into obese and foul-smelling old age. She also reveals that Anne of Cleves, Henry's fourth wife who was so cruelly labelled the 'Flanders Mare', might actually have been a rather attractive young lady - and that their marital problems were probably down to Henry.
