Global role of Queen explored in new documentary

VIEWERS will get a behind-thescenes glimpse of how the Queen passes on her knowledge and experience to younger members of the royal family in a new ITV series that focuses on her role as head of the Commonwealth.

Queen Of The World will contain exclusive footage of the monarch interacting with other global leaders as well as the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke and

Show: The Queen Duchess of Sussex. Filmed over a year, the two hour-long programmes will also draw from the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh’s private film archives.

The series will reflect on the continued importance in which the Queen holds the Commonwealth and how it has grown during her reign.

Executive producer Nicolas Kent said “The Queen is the most well-travelled monarch in history and it’s been fascinating to see how she has passed on her experience to the younger generations of the royal family. With the Duke and Duchess of Sussex about to embark on their first commonwealth tour to Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific exactly 65 years after the Queen’s first commonwealth tour, this series could not be more timely.”

Jo Clinton-Davis from ITV added: “The Queen is a unique figure on the world stage, with a massive depth of experience having met more global leaders than any previous British monarch and serving longer than all of them.”
