Speaking of epic series, Downton Abbey's creator
Julian Fellows will make scripted series on
THE ROYAL COLLECTION based on the queen's art collection which is the biggest in the world! As 'Deadline' reports, it will depict stories behind portraits which hang in the royal collection! Every episode will end with the portrait being painted. For instance, one of the stories is a servant who worked for three kings and the queen. Spread across 13 historic royal residencies in the UK, the collection is owned by Queen Elizabeth II and overseen by the Royal Collection trust. There are around 1 million objects including 7,000 paintings and 30,000 watercolours and drawings as well as photographs and furniture.
