Is anybody watching this documentary? Having a disability myself and also having a sister with learning disabilities it is heartbreaking to see what they did to disabled people back then and how the Royal family have tried to hide disability in their family for years (both the Queen's Cousins and Prince John (the Queen's uncle who had epilepsy and possible learning disabilities).

    Just watched it. Really shocked how people with disabilities got treated back then. Can't believe those 2 girls are related to royalty and get treated like that. Shocking,the royal family should be ashamed of themselves.

    "Back then" extended to 1997 when REH closed, a mere 14 years ago. I had privy to some of the going's on there shortly before it closed, and believe me, this documentary only sctratched the surface.........
