The 1990s would prove to be the decade in which the Monarchy endured some of the worst crises of modern times. In 1992, the Royal Family’s private lives became a media sensation as three of Her Majesty’s children suffered the pain of marital breakdown.
After Her beloved Windsor Castle was ravaged by fire, the Queen proclaimed 1992 an ‘Annus Horribilis’.
Then, just 5 years later the World was shocked by the death of Diana, Princess of Wales which saw an unprecedented public outpouring of grief.
The Queen made her first speech at the tender age of 14 in the midst of the Second World War and has continued throughout her reign to speak around the World. Candid recordings reveal the true extent of her prowess as an orator.
"She never looked at anyone else". A love match from the beginning, the marriage of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip lasted 73 years throughout which they were a constant support to each other.
Her Majesty has seen the world change drastically during her time as Queen. Her inscrutable commitment to duty has defined her lifetime of service to the Crown and lifetime of service to God. But Elizabeth was never meant to be Queen.
