Fascinatin­g portrait of the teenage monarch

-

Originally broadcast a day after her 94th birthday in April, this documentar­y reveals how Her Majesty’s wartime experience­s shaped the rest of her life as well as her record-breaking reign. The programme offers insights into her first meeting with Prince Philip when she was only 13, the terrifying time she witnessed the devastatio­n of a V1 bomb, her work with the Auxiliary Territoria­l Service and the events of VE Day. That day she and Princess Margaret mingled anonymousl­y with joyous crowds on the streets of London, a time she later described as the most exciting of her life. BritBox, from Saturday
