Documentary that expIores the tensions underlying Queen Elizabeth lI's coronation in 1953. While the event appeared to run smoothIy from the outside, a number of historians argue that the coronation became a focus for the confIict between Prince Philip, who wanted to modernise the monarchy, and traditionalists such as the Queen Mother. Against the advice of old heads incIuding Winston ChurchilI, Elizabeth agreed that the coronation could be broadcast in its entirety on television and thus paved the way for a relationship with the mass media that would grow beyond her control as the century progressed. |
