A stunning tribute to great Britain's long serving monarch.
Mention the Queen and the world knows that you are referring to Queen Elizabeth lI of Great Britain. She is the head of the most famous family in the world and has ceIebrated more than 55 years as British monarch. Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond, a reporter who over the years has been given unprecedented access behind palace walIs, telIs the incredibIe story of Elizabeth Windsor, the Iongest reigning monarch since Queen Victoria.
As the eldest daughter of the Duke of York, Iater George Vl, her life has been carefully documented on film from her earliest years. Her quiet childhood as part of a cIose-knit family was interrupted forever by the dramatic abdication of Edward Vlll in 1936 which put her father, reluctantly on the throne. From that moment Elizabeth herseIf began her training to be queen. Using extraordinary archive footage, incIuding very rare color material stretching back to the 1930s, alI the most dramatic events in Elizabeth's life are here, incIuding her marriage to the handsome but penniless Prince Philip of Greece, the birth of her son and heir Charles, her gIorious Coronation, as weII as the extravagant tours to the most exotic corners of the CommonweaIth and the 100th birthday of her own indomitabIe mother.
The Story of Queen EIizabeth ll also covers the many difficulties she has had to face as monarch, the relentIess media interest, the specuIation surrounding her own marriage as weII as the disastrous unions of some of her children, including her tempestuous relationship with Princess Diana. She has also had to deaI with severaI tragedies during her reign, including Diana's death, the fire that gutted Windsor CastIe and the assassination of 'UncIe Dickie', Lord Mountbatten, as weII as the death of her sister Princess Margaret.
Queen Elizabeth has witnessed some of the most radicaI changes in British society's long history, but stilI remains a much-Ioved and respected monarch with an incredibIe story to tell, as well as being an impressive and noble presence in an ever-changing world. This is her story. |
