Our Queen
ITV, STV, UT Sunday 17th March V8pm - 10pm
Repeat: ITV+1 Today 9pmFilmed during an eventful 2012, this is the first feature-length royal documentary for more than 20 years, and with the Diamond Jubilee, Olympics, state visits and 007 coming a-knocking, there was plenty going on. Interviews with the people around the Queen are just as telling about royal life as footage of her inspecting preparations for a banquet or adjusting her electric fire.
David Cameron’s account of meetings at Balmoral shows there’s no such thing as royal relaxation. “Even though the royal family are on holiday, there isn’t much what you’d call downtime. There’s not much chillaxing at Balmoral.”
Feature-length documentary filmed throughout 2012, providing an in-depth portrait of Elizabeth II during her Diamond Jubilee year. Prince Charles and other members of the royal family share their stories, providing insights into the Queen's life over an important and busy 12 months filled with celebrations. The programme also reveals what really happens when the Prime Minister sits down with the monarch, and the lid is lifted on that memorable 007 moment at the London Olympic Games opening ceremony.
