We know exactly what they look like, but how do they think? A new documentary on the royal family [1], Queen of the World, gives us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of palace life, and it's joyous. Not only do we get to see all the tiaras, sparkle, and hard work that go into the royal experience [2], but we also get to witness just how happy the Windsors make each other.
