A unique celebration of the Queen's ninety years as she reaches her landmark birthday in April. Film-maker John Bridcut has been granted special access to the complete collection of Her Majesty's personal ciné films, shot by the Duke of Edinburgh and the Queen herself, as well as by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Much of it has never been seen publicly before. Various members of the Royal Family are filmed watching this private footage and contributing their own personal insights and their memories of the woman they know both as a member of their own close family and as queen. Among those taking part are the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Harry, the Princess Royal, the Duke of Kent and his sister Princess Alexandra, who has never before given an interview.
Buckingham Palace is a symbol of Britain and one of the most iconic buildings in the world. For over 300 years, Buckingham Palace has been a closed and secretive place --it is littered with scandals, infighting, and tragedies -- all seeking to bring down the British monarchy. Take a look behind the walls where Queen Victoria once abandoned it to George VI's defiance against Hitler and all the way to Queen Elizabeth II's 60+ year reign.
Margaret Elphinstone was a first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. From 1991 to 2002, she served as Woman of the Bedchamber to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. She was married to Denys Gravenor Rhodes.
