Quote
Following the trail of a possible British royal scandal in a graveyard in
Sevenoaks in Kent. Does a family tomb in the graveyard hold the remains
of an illegitimate royal child? The answer to the riddle that "Document"
explores this week lies in a tomb in a graveyard in Sevenoaks. For two
decades, one man has struggled to prove a family legend that his grandfather
Henry - the body within - was the love child of Queen Victoria's daughter.

Nick Locock's attempts to have the body exhumed and DNA tested have been
thwarted twice. The authorities seem determined that any would-be royal
scandal should be left to rest in peace. "Document" investigates whether
this is a Palace cover-up or a much muddled family myth. Through wills,
personal letters and accounts, the programme assembles compelling evidence
that seems to support the Locock's claim. A passionate Princess, a royal
call in the night for the Queen's obstetrician and a sudden adoption by
that very man's son. Within months a hasty wedding, a new family home a
stone's throw from the Mall, a family and an inheritance fit for a king.

Oddly enough, the BBC site has misplaced the on-line data for this
programme. The link at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/document/index_winter2006.shtml
leads to a different programme. And you can look there in vain for
any refs to 'The Marburg File' programme.
