Since her 1953 coronation, she’s spent time carefully crafting her media appearances.

For one thing, Queen Elizabeth has famously never agreed to do an interview with the press.

The hundreds of films were taken by the queen’s parents and Prince Phillip.

To narrate the story, the documentary crews relied on audio from the queen’s numerous public speeches.

In 1969, “Royal Family,” was aired on the BBC, perCNN.
