In the late 19th century the Burmese King Thibaw and his family were ousted by the British as they annexed the country. Since then the nation has faced a brutal, genocidal dictatorship and the descendants of the once Royal line walk among the population, forgotten. We are joined by historian Alex Bescoby, who works to tell their story and highlight the struggles faced by the former Monarchy.
