Home movies filmed by Queen Elizabeth are to be released for the first time Friday, providing with the sight of life behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace and showing Britain royal family’s softer side.
Prince Charles is also going to share some of the glimpses of royal family’s home movies in a documentary paying personal tribute to his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, as she has marked 60 years on the British throne. The tribute will draw on archive newsreels and never-before-seen royal films and photographs.
The programme includes shots of a nine-year-old Prince of Wales and his younger sister, Princess Anne buried up to their necks within the sand during a beach holiday in 1957 —with the queen’s favourite breed of dog, corgi sitting between them. Throughout the whole programme, the Prince shares memorable events from the Queen’s public and private life, with the addition of his insightful commentary. A major part of the film is rooted in childhood memories, Prince Charles pays tribute to his mother, from the moment she became Queen on safari in Kenya in 1952, through to last year’s historic visit to Ireland.
Prince of Wales said: “The Diamond Jubilee gives us the chance to celebrate with pride all that the Queen means to us – whether as a nation or as one of her children.”
The documentary is going to be broadcasted on BBC One at 8pm on Friday night.
Britain is enthusiastically marking the queen’s Diamond Jubilee with a series of celebration events including a 1,000-boat pageant along the River Thames tomorrow and a service of Thanksgiving on Tuesday.
The main political parties’ leaders have paid tribute to the Queen on Friday, while Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams has recorded a video in which he says: “I hadn’t had any contact at all with royalty before coming into this job.
“I didn’t know what to expect, really. I found in the queen someone who can be friendly, who can be informal, who can be extremely funny in private — and not everybody appreciates just how funny she can be…
“I think we’ve been enormously fortunate in this country to have, as our head of state, a person who has a real personality.”
