A Royal Affair is a true story based on one of the most dramatic events in European history, of an ordinary man who wins the queen’s heart and starts a revolution.

The drama is the gripping tale of brave idealists who risk everything in their pursuit of freedom for the people. Above all it is the story of a passionate and forbidden romance that changed an entire nation. Danish, English, German, and French languages with English subtitles. (2K DCP presentation)
