Trailer of Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen on the BBC

A Special BBC documentary  About The Queen

The Queen has entrusted the BBC with unprecedented access to her personal film collection. This footage will provide an extraordinary glimpse into a deeply personal side of the Royal Family. The broadcaster is in a special position to share rare details of the Queen as the nation marks her Platinum Jubilee.

The Royal Family have filmed each other since the 1920s. However, reels of home-made recordings have been held privately by the Royal Collection in the vaults of the British Film Institute. After years in the vault, the public will finally see what's on these reels.

BBC Studios accessed close to 400 reels of film in the making of this documentary. Amongst the most special pieces of footage is three never-before-seen images of a young Princess Elizabeth. Home movies shot by her, her parents, Prince Philip, and others will shape what we see in this 75 minute event.

The doco relies largely on The Queen’s own voice and words, alongside newsreel audio. The filmmakers listened to over three hundred of The Queen’s speeches, spanning over decades.
