Harrison builds on Chris’ British royal family focus by finding out which royals have actual jobs. Take for example, young Prince Nikolai of Denmark - he’s seventh in line to the throne so doesn’t get access to the royal purse. What’s the solution? Go and be a model. Chris wasn’t impressed…

Chris meanwhile learns about the creepy practice (to modern ears at least) of creating death masks. These masks were created generally within hours of a person’s death and then used to display around the home, or create statues based on their likeness. Perhaps unsurprisingly Madame Tussaud got her start by making death masks, though she perhaps didn’t really want to do so.
