Andrew Marr looks at the life and reign of HM Queen Elizabeth II in this
three-part series, which includes special interviews with Princes
William and Harry, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Zara Tindall and
Peter Phillips, the Earl of Wessex, the Duke of York, the Princess
Royal, David Cameron, Tony Blair, Sir John Major and President Obama.
In this first episode, with remarkable archive footage, Marr tells the
childhood story of the young girl who never expected to reign. He looks
closely at the influence of her grandfather, father and mother and the
impact of the abdication, and hears from the Queen's grandchildren about
what it must have been like to become queen at the age of 25.
Marr examines exactly what the Queen's role as head of state actually
entails, and follows her to the Middle East and the USA to assess the
global impact of the royal family on British trade and international
relations.
