Private Notes
This episode looks back over the more than sixty years since the Queen ascended to the throne and looks ahead to ask what might happen to the Palace when Charles becomes King.
With the help of previously unseen documents including secret letters to the former Edward VIII, personal memoirs and first-hand accounts from people such as Margaret Rhodes, the Queen's cousin, this episode looks at some of the stormier years experienced at the Palace including the war years.
This special episode explores the more difficult times of Her Majesty's long reign. 1992 was the terrible year in which the marriages of Anne, Andrew and Charles collapsed, Fergie appeared topless on the cover of the Daily Mirror, Andrew Morton's incredible revelations about Diana were made public in a bestselling book, and Windsor Castle caught fire. The Queen survived the storm, lived through the scandals and put her house in order, and the royals emerged stronger than ever.
