Queen Elizabeth II assumed the throne of England in 1952, and her reign is now among the longest in British history. Learn the life story of the woman portrayed in the Oscar® - winning film for Best Actress The Queen.



As a shy child, Princess Elizabeth prayed that she wouldn't be the Queen of England but at the age of 27 she had the crown thrust upon her and her reign has become one of the longest in British history. This is the fascinating story of the woman who became Queen Elizabeth the Second of England, as told by those who have known her, watched her and been close to her. It's a story of pomp and pageantry, palaces and princes. It's also the tale of life - public and private - which hasn't always run smoothly. Elizabeth has had a difficult reign, she's lived through change and turmoil. Today there is intense debate about her future role and that of her family. This program includes archive film and pictures going back to the very earliest days of her life, as well as film of the royal palaces, ceremonies and the royal family. It talks to courtiers, family friends, biographers and historians, and with their help, goes behind the public facade to ask who is Elizabeth and what does she think and feel about her life and times?
