The Queens’ Coronation: behind closed doors
|
This is a one-hour documentary on Channel 4 exploring the tensions concealed behind one of the most important national events of the 20th century. Deep divisions lay within the House of Windsor, with Prince Philip’s ideas for a thoroughly modern monarchy meeting much resistance from Buckingham Palace – the Queen Mother being foremost among his opponents. Caught in the middle was the Queen, trying to reconcile her husband’s desire for progress with her mother’s belief in tradition.
