Exclusive scenes and unprecedented access to private archive material contribute to an intimate portrait of the monarch as she approaches her milestone birthday. Footage includes the wedding of the Prince of Wales, a visit to Canada, and historic events which helped form the Queen's character.

This intimate portrait of the monarch captures her at events last summer that marked the 200th anniversary of Trafalgar and 60 years since the end of the Second World War. Plus a glimpse of the weekly meeting between the Queen and the PM and a look back at the 1990s, when divorce and death shook the monarchy to the core.
