Born in 1905, John was the youngest of George V's children. Diagnosed with epilepsy, he died in 1919 after a particularly severe seizure.
Had he lived he would have been the present Queen's uncle. The popular image of Prince John has since been one of a neglected child who was regarded as an embarrassment and shut away from public view, deprived of contact with his family.
Using testimonies of individuals with direct personal connections to the prince, together with new research and photographs of the real 'Johnny', this documentary unravels some of the mysteries and misconceptions surrounding him, presenting a more complete story than has ever been told before.
