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
