9/10
Great retrospective
11 April 2017
This tribute to Queen Elizabeth II consists of archival film and commentary by current royals and others as they watch the same film the audience is viewing. The film is very captivating as old family photos are (or movies in this case). It is very enjoyable to see Princes Charles, Willam and Harry as well as the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh relaxing as they view the film or add their own stories. We see other Royals as well, including Princess Anne, who is the Princess Royal, the Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, etc. The Duke of Kent, now over 80, is a first cousin, who was shown as a young Duke in the early years of the Queen's reign. Wonderful memories are captured on film of the young Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, King George VI, the Queen Mother, Winston Churchill, etc. The family of the Queen are shown as children in the 1950s and 1960s. Whether playing on the grounds of their home or on a beach, various scenes are wonderful insights into the private life of the Royal Family. I highly recommend if you are a Royal watcher and even if you are not, old family movies are a good entertainment and interesting social history.
