Three years after Queen Elizabeth II's passing, this True Royalty Original show reflects on that historic day and how it changed Britain forever. From the carefully orchestrated announcements to the nation's collective grief, we examine how the death of the longest-serving sovereign unfolded and its lasting impact on the royal family and the Commonwealth. On September 8, 2022, the world watched as news broke of the Queen's declining health, followed by the solemn announcement that would mark the end of the second Elizabethan age. This show looks back at that momentous day, exploring the behind-the-scenes preparations, the immediate succession of King Charles III, and how the royal family navigated their most challenging transition in modern history. Host Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is joined by Charlotte Griffiths, Editor at Large for the Mail On Sunday, and Katie Nicholl, Royal Correspondent for Vanity Fair, who provide expert insight into the protocols, emotions, and lasting consequences of this pivotal moment in royal history that reshaped the British monarchy forever.
