Elizabeth- the unseen Queen

[Bowbridge]

Did anyone see this? So much unseen footage of the Queen's early years. I found it fascinating, especially the Queen's voice over (some edited together from her speeches and her recent voice over for the Platinum Jubilee).

I must put out my bunting!

Thank you.

@Maireas I think I saw an interviewing Princess Margaret who said it was a shock. As he was so much better. Plus they'd have never sent Elizabeth ok tour had they thought he was dying.

I loved it! I especially liked her commentary (recorded in the past and the present).
I was wondering if there was a part 2 though. Edward and Andrew have been erased! It ended before they were born.
Princess Anne was a great baby - really smiley!

I think it just went up to her coronation

Yes it was obviously sudden. I'm only repeating what his Private Secretary said.

I'm hoping there's a part two, there must be lots of footage left.

It was so worth watching

Thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you for the recommendation. Watched it with my 11 year old. The queen and her sister seemed to have such a lovely relationship with their parents.

The relationship with mum and dad (George VI and the Queen Mother (as we knew her)) really stood out for me.

Yes I think Elizabeth had very loving and attentive parents and as a couple they had a few good years together before duty called.

I love how her & Margaret always have the same clothes on.

I enjoyed it too, especially the footage of the queen and her sister as small children, with lots of very normal energy and mischief. I also loved seeing her father playing with the children; it seemed so modern and universal, despite being nearly a century ago. Fascinating as a piece of social history, however you feel about the monarchy.

It was interesting wasn't it?

Prince Charles!-what a sweetie!

Thought that George was quite like him when younger.

They all seemed so happy-even with "Uncle David".
