18 Have you seen the documentary that shows the British royals grilling sausages?
No, you probably haven’t. As civil unrest rocked the world in the 1960s, the Windsors hoped to win over the commoners with a documentary showing them doing “normal” things, such as watching TV, going out for a drive— and grilling sausages. The film aired on the BBC in 1969 and was a huge ratings hit. However, Queen Elizabeth
(who was shown making a salad while Prince Philip manned the grill) thought the movie made the royals seem too ordinary. She ordered that the film never air again.
